Some Wizards fanart that I finally got around to coloring. It’s a weird but enjoyable movie from Ralph Bakshi with a cool premise that falls a little flat in its delivery. Nonetheless, there are some cool characters, the coolest being Necron-99 (Peace), pictured above.
To show my love for Ralph Bakshi and his work in adult animation, especially his film, Wizards, 1977, I decided to redesign one of my fav characters from the movie, Princess Elinore. Based her redesign after her canon design aswell as the one from the poster.
I didn’t want to change too much from her canon look but also wanted to make it it’s own look. I mixed the sexy fairy vibe with more warrior features to it such as the plating and straps. She has a fiery attitude and more than willing to fight.
Also in the movie, she started off as a half fairy and training to become a full fledged fairy. I wish if they ever bring this into a series, to go into that more. Trying to understand herself and her place among everyone. I made her skin darker, because I feel like her half fairy struggles could relate to people who are biracial and other people who may also be struggling to understand their identity.
I also gave her more magical fairy style wings and due to her being half fairy, doesn’t have markings on them like spots or other designs.
Every year on February 9th, I try to draw something commemorating the original 1977 release of my URL namesake and one of my fav movies of all time, Ralph Bakshi's WIZARDS! 🧚
