"Midsummer Night's Dream"
Made it for this month's character design challenge because I really have to draw a fairy!
Yes Mucha is in my reference folder and I have his posters all over the place. And yes I stole the title from Shakespeare coz he's better at English than me.

Would you say they look like a series? If they do, what would look cool next in the series? (Honestly I didn’t plan on making a series when I drew these, but a friend was asking so I’m curious to hear some opinions.)

Because in mainland China unfortunately a lot of antiques have either been burnt down or robbed by European armies. A lot of treasure are in European museums, actually it is better resources over there. It’s very sad history but I’m glad at least it’s somehow reserved.

still working on my JRPG King Arthur challenge on Artstation, here's a WIP for my Merlin,who is old and grumpy, he dresses very extra so people better take him seriously. He hates fish, hates human children, and he hates the word "kitty", "puss" and "cute", and hate tall people.

Guinevere, who was supposed to be a beautiful queen,in my version he is a prince from another country... but since it's a JRPG setting so I wanted him to be a playable character, so he can be in the player's team too as a minstrel, and he plays a saz as his "weapon"
