Description Casia knew not to follow flickering lights into the fog, for those are the lanterns of the hinkypunks, whose dances lead the lost astray. However, Casia would never forget the day when she found herself in the midst of a migrating flock.

Had a sketch ready of a wistful Casia looking out of a window, but then saw that some other entries were very similar, so instead I've opted to try and capture the beauty and enchanting nature of her home instead! Hopefully the scene looks like enough to make even an 'old soul' like her gasp in wonder.

This is an entry for 's contest:
Petrinox's Art Contest!"Deep into the rugged hills to the north of Canterlot, sitting on the verge of the crystal mountains is a strange town shrouded in fog. Backed by a tangled, dark pine forest and surrounded by fields of lavender, strange things are rumoured to be happening in this small corner of equestria."

Petrinox's art contest!
The mission: Draw my oc, Casia Mist. (all info of her can be found in the description of the deviation below!)

'Hinkypunk' is one of the many names for will-o'-the-wisps! The myths are mostly of the 'don't wander off the path at night: it's dangerous' ilk without much hint of what the creatures look like, so I decided they could be weird little dragon-ray things.

In a good way? I do enjoy the 'there's always more mystery out there' type of fantasy worlds.
