How does your art incorporate the theme?
When I saw the theme fantasy I immediately thought of a witch lol
I wanted to draw way more but stuff came up and I whipped this up in barely an hour 😔

I love the movement of the character, it's so beautiful! The face maybe lacks a bit of detail, but that's probably an intentional artistic choice. Really lovely piece!
I love the contrast between the warm character and spell and the cool background!!!
Will say that there isn't enough contrast in her face so it's a bit hard to see her expression
Thank you!! and you're right, maybe I'll finish this drawing soon with some changes!
I feel like her expressions makes her spells seem weaker, like it isn't that big of a deal at all. It can work if you had contrasted it with a big ominous monster, so she seems like a badass beating monsters effortlessly.
But just this makes it seem like magic is an everyday task that she is bored with. Imagine she finishes that spell and all it does is do the laundry of her entire magic school, that's what I get from the expression. She on her own doesn't carry enough weight in order to make the art impactfull you should have added more elements in order for the art to be complete.
I saw how you said that it was rushed, and I get it, but next time I think it would be better if you didn't put all your eggs in one basket and designed more elements around her, so they can complement each other. I know it sounds like I hate the art, but there are a lot of great elements, like her posture, clothing and the way the spell looks.
Nah ur so right, my initial sketch actually had a dragon on the other side but i didn't have time to detail it so i just cropped it out 😭 Maybe I'll finish the entire thing on my own soon!! I'm never balancing exams and jams ever again 💔
I could totally see this in a game layered behind some music as part of some opening sequence or lore dump. Making the facial features simple and less expressive was the right call.
Omg that makes me so happy 😭 Thank you so much!!
Genuinly impresive for something done in one hour! And even if it were made in more time it would remain very nice ! If I had just one thing to say it would be that I get the impression that you forgot to draw one of her eyes, but it might just be me misunderstanding…
Well done anyways !
Thank you very much!! I tried to draw her eyes but they looked goofy so I went with simple shading lol, but very valid criticism! Hopefully next jam ill have time to submit something better 😔 Thank u for the nice comment!!
