“Rajkumari Gulabi” is a dream series I’ve been having fun exploring where it’s a bunch of Indian teenagers forming a vigilante group with the help of mythic historical magic. They are all linked to flowers and roles a few special figures had during medieval times, or so the lore goes.
This is Zoya's magical girl form: Rajkumari Lobelia. Zoya’s a little grumpy and shy, but she means well.
Lobelia was a royal soothsayer, who grew fond of mystic dark magic and left the royal palace to research ancient dark magic of different tribes all over India, much to the Queen’s dismay. Zoya, a young girl living in modern Mumbai has now been bestowed her powers.
Wanted to draw an edgy purple/black themed character that all girls wanna be when they're teenagers. Her design isn’t finalized in any way, this is only just the beginning of exploring Indian aesthetics and trying to come up with designs.
