⚔️ JASSA ⚔️

✨ A Queen and fire bird during the day and her Dark General ✨

✨ I personally prefer Jassa over Vucien—there’s just something about these two and the ultimate enemies to lovers that we can get from these two, that I just instantly fell in love! I’ve done art of these two before, but my work progressed so much in the last year that I’m 5 months my style has completely changed and expanded!

✨ you can see the differences between the new piece and the old one in the ➡️ slide over!

FINALLY—I’ve finished it. This piece took me AGES (mainly because I hyperfixated on the Helion x LoA piece ) but it’s finally done!

✨ On a very serious note, please PLEASE remember that Vaasa is not white. Her skin tone is clearly indicated in the books, and I am so sick of seeing whitewashing in this community. There are a lot of toxic apples already, let’s not stoop even lower and whitewash a canonically POC character.

✨ On a lighter note—I AM OBSESSED WITH JURIAN AND VASSA!!! I can’t wait to read more about them—I’m predicting a very spicy enemies to lovers.
