Morgan Le Fay

I've never seen anyone drawing Morgane with short hair, but I think it might be an interesting interpretation of her. I like the idea that magicians are people who erase gender because of thousands of magical transformations that they do. And so I tried to make her more fae-rish and wild? I love the vibe of royal mystical queen Morgane Le Fay, but I also love the idea of wild witch who has a connection with ancient gods, and she knows so much more than you can imagine.
