Greetings,

How're you doing? I hope nice! I admit that yesterday, with my journal entry I was quite overwhelmed by the unwelcomed change in the online artist community. I'm still confused to say the least, but, with my mind slightly cleared up, I decided to stay to this site, even with all its evident flaws. I hope, however, that soon there will be a substitute which be finally able to reunite the art community under one umbrella...

Since this October I was in a witchy mood, so I fleshed out a character I had for quite a while. She's part of a bigger story, which she's one of the comprimaries, I hope to tell you more about. Drawing sorceress it's revealing more fun than I would have thought, they're cute, fun and allow so much creativity in designs, magic and stories.

I started to draw this reference fastly for an art trade, but I wanted to polish it slightly to publish it. I really like her design, probably the first time I'm fully satisfied with a character design of mine!

I hope you'll like it as well and see you soon.

In a remote place, suspended between a dreamlike and a tangible state, where time flows so slowly it almost it's blocked, there's a forest not too far from a town where all sorts of mages, alchemists and sorcerers coexist peacefully. Usually, its access it's forbidden aside from few selected occasion, as it's the place where the remains of the citizens rest. For the careless who's still eager to explore the intricate meanders of the greenwood, great dangers will await: the souls of the deceased people still roam there and they don't like unexpected visitors, so if they come too closer to them, the ghosts creep them out relying on their fears. If they're lucky, however, a gentle woman would plead the souls to stop and invites the explorers to follow her to her home to reassure them with a tea and redirect them safely to their homes.

Lucía, this is the lady's name, would then present herself as the elected guardian of the forest, a necromancer whose duty is to protect the souls' rest and to mediate between the living and the dead. She leaves alone in a small house and the only company she has are her protected souls and the animals she breeds in her farm: as she's always busy with the care of the ghosts and the farms, she doesn't suffer too much from solitude. If she does, however, she would ask her ancestors' souls, who always accompany her, to read again one of the few books she has in her shelf or to experiments in her brewery, as she attempts to create a potions that would allow to improve her weak sight.

At a first glance it's difficult to tell her real intentions: as she's always lost into her stream of thoughts, she wouldn't speak much and the few times she would use such a vague lexicon she would leave an unsettling impression on others. She's extremely secretive about herself, especially regarding her life before joining the magical community but if someone in the living is skeptical about her, the souls trust her. In facts, she's a gentle and compassionate witch who uses her powers as a way to help people to face their mournings, to accept their own mortality, therefore to embrace life serenely. The few times she leaves the forest, only if she's called she visits people on the verge of death and helps their eventual families to evoke their ancestor's souls, as a rite of the upcoming junction and guaranteeing them peace.

Lucía has a remarkable strong will: that would benefit her for her hard work, even in spite of her limited sight, but allows her to develop an unhealthy obsession whenever problems may affect her protected, herself or even her values and would recur to emotional manipulation to reach her goals. While she may have noble intentions, they blind Lucía so much that she wouldn't even recognize her errors until she fails miserably and that's too late to fix.

Despite not having a developed sense of humor, Lucía can exhibit some sarcasm, when annoyed or stressed, and would struggle to understand what's so funny about her deadpan lines.

In recent times, Lucía is worried by the ever increasing number of a special type of soul: while they're still clearly human, they're barely able to speak and instead manifest an apparently inexplicable aggressiveness that the woman and the other ghosts are barely able to contain. The witch seems to already grasped their origin but for the moment seems unwilling to openly discuss with others. She only deems herself responsible for their mere existence and wishes, even if she didn't find a solution yet.
