I actually had a couple of requests to do a redesign of the winx club. I was originally only gonna do Tecna and Musa, but I ended up doing sketched for the rest of the girls too and with Fate coming out not that long ago I figured now’d be a good time to post them.
explanation for each design under the cut!
(tecna’s not here cause I did her individually, sorry !)
General: I watched winx when i was younger, but don’t remember much of it, so please don’t get mad if you’re a winx superfan and part of my design doesn’t make sense. Everyone gets fairy ears that are common in their respective magic dimension.( Bloom’s ears are still fairy ears they just look similar to human ears. Musa’s ears look like some mix of Stella and Flora, but it looks like they’ve been clipped on the sides.) None of their outfits really match, but that’s fine cause what connects them this that sparkly mesh material.
Tecna: oh boy I’m really not good with that technical/digital aesthetic with clothing, so I don’t think I really knew what I was doing with her. I never liked Tecna’s original design, so I kinda designed her with the idea of ‘ What would make her look cool to me?’ I did always like her wings though so I wanted to look similar to her original ones.
Musa: She originally had baggy pants and a cropped spaghetti strap shirt with a red mesh shirt over it, but I thought that look was done alot with other people’s designs, so I opted to give her a baggy jacket + skirt and sheer leggings instead. Her wings are records and the bottom part is supposed to be reminiscent of sheet music (I know there are more lines lol) It’s a little on the nose, but I don’t care cause it’s cute.
Aisha/Layla: Aisha was probably the hardest to design cause I really didn’t know what I was doing with her. Her sketch has a skirt with a cloud looking hem, that was supposed to be like seafoam. I ended up scrapping that though cause I thought the skirt looked kinda ugly and didn’t fit with all the other designs. She ended up getting pants with sheer flowy legs. I still think the teal part of her pants are a little plain, but I still think it looks better than the skirt. I was gonna lean her color palette towards blue cause her original outfit was just straight green? Turns out the green can work if you pair it with other oceany colors. Her wings are basic butterfly because water looking wings are hard to draw.
Flora: She had the best costume in my opinion, so I just added stuff to what she had already. The middle segment of her dress was meant to look like a petal as were her wings. When I was coloring her was about the time I decided everyone gets a sheer sparkly clothing piece, so there’s some sort of correlation happening.
Stella: Blue, added lots of blue. She represents the sun and moon, but there is hardly any moon in her design. She almost had heterochromia, but I thought that was too much blue. And yeah I know gladiator/goddess Stella is overdone, but it works well for her. Also I thought it’s be fun if the fashionista of the group was also the fighter. Get you a girl who can do both. Dragonfly wings cause I think they fit, maybe I should’ve gone with moth wings?
Bloom: I can’t remember what, but I know Bloom had a trait about her that was related to a dragon, so she gets a medieval aesthetic. Knight armor + princess skirt and crown + dragon/fire inspired wings. Bloom’s also supposed to look more plain jane in design compared to everyone else.
