This is a character that my closest friend created for me a few years ago. We used to write to each other alot before I got the 'net. I used to write lots of stories, (all of which remained un-finished), and I told her about one story in particular where a lad finds a a girl in a crystal in his basement. She appears after he reads something aloud from a dusty old book he finds, a magic circle appears and the female character comes out of the ground in a giant crystal.
I was stumped for what the Villianess should look like so I asked my best friend if she could create her for me, I didn't give her any description of what she should look like, all I said was that I wanted her to be some kind of witch, although to me, she looks more like a mage
I did make a few minor alterations to her staff, such as the ball in the center originally had something keeping it in place, so I thought It'd be a little cooler if there weren't and it was just floating.
************* A little about the character
She's searching for the female lead character, (I can't remember why), and the ball on the crescent moon on her staff is her magic keeping it in place. She gets all of her energy/lifeforce from the moon, she doesn't neccersarily have to eat, but she likes the taste of Earths food.
This is my version of the picture, and this is the original that my BFF drew: [link]
I also referenced the moon in the BG from here: [link]
I'm really happy you like my art!
