#winx bloom

On of the paintings I did over christmas. 

I haven’t watched many episodes of the Winx Club, because I did not have the channel it was running on (I don’t count the italian channel I watched some episodes on; I did not understand it, because I don’t speak italian, but I just loved watching pretty fairies). So to paint Bloom I had to find some references.

And hey! You can see the glitter this time!

DRYADIX IS HERE I FINALLY FINISHED THEM

lore and design notes and stuff below as usual

So just like Sirenix and Harpix, Dryadix is earned through a quest. Elemental quests are traditionally initiated through the corresponding elemental companion, but a “cheat code” exists in the Elementix Compendium to kickstart each of the quests with out a companion (if the fairy already has Harmonix obvi). The Dryadix quest requires a fairy to create a crystal seed out of their magic, grow the seed into a plant with at least one flower bud, and present the plant to the Source of Dryadix on planet Magix. Unlike like the sirenix pearls and harpix feathers, there are no riddles to solve to get a seed, instead the Elementix Compendium details crystalline magic creation and plant care. There would still be some kind of virtue trial in order to get the plant to grow but its literally just like. Patience, dedication, nurturing, etc, just the regular stuff to take care of plants anyways so it’s pretty straight forward.

Design! I’ve described Dryadix before when talking about Daphne and the elementix here but designing this transformation was a journey, the final results have serious differences compared to the original sketches I did. I actually ended up throwing some aspects of the “magic of joy” transformation from the comics in there? not a lot and only as i needed but I wanted a kind of ethereal feel to this one despite being the “earth” transformation for the elementix.  Basically, the updated Dryadix includes: loose hair styles with optional braids, a flower crown, a cropped vest type thing (neck collar bone and shoulders), visible ribcage filled with flowers, simple solid bottoms with some kind of waistband, a sheer multi-layer skirt, one sheer sleeve, solid color socks, pretty basic shoes limited to style lines as decoration, and a glove/bracer/arm thing that matches the boots and socks. The fairy wings resemble plant matter and have more glow-y veins than typical wings. Flora’s plant based biology is reacts strongly with this transformation, transforming her hands, feet, and ears into vines and branches (her eyes, if they were open, would have flower shaped pupils).

ON TO PHOENIX and maybe nymphix. or witch ethereal forms. idk.

“Valtor will never win, EVER !”

Nostalgia called and told me that I should chill with the fairy things. :’D

You are free to use my icons, no need to ask. Just don’t claim that you made them <3 Reblog would be nice!

butterfly-winx:

Season 5: Let’s do politics dresses and princess gowns

In butterfly verse these replace the flower-applique travesties and are designed by Stella to give the girls a chique grown up look to be taken seriously in those meetings discussing the threat posed by Tritannus and his pollution.

Layla and Stella further get gowns when representing their home realm (Bloom is not officially a princess in function yet bc Domino only gets restored at the end of s5 in butterfly verse)

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.

closed eyes meme + switcharound meme all in one with our national magical fairies!

the cast: bunkun/emieru/mange/roulette/wi-fu

if you put me, free evening, Sims4, and WINX together you might get something like this.

dear “Fate: The Winx Saga”, feel free to take notes

I saw somewhere online that said Bloom was a Sagittarius, and I’m happy that there is character(specificallya main one)  that has the same sign as me.
