Art & Character (Lonan Nathanial) © @CentaurWorks

Lonan often practices her magic, trying to get better and better until being the best at magic. She recently found a book of magic, one of many within her kingdom's libraries but this one looked so different to her. Within the evening, she made plans to try to use the spell. Opening the pages, she began reading the words as a way to practice for the full spell, unaware that reading the words only activated the spell. A rush of magical water poured out and surrounded her. In a matter of seconds her clothes teared away, legs joining to become a fish-like tail, Lonan did not expect to become a mermaid, tho one may say to be more careful around magic.

This was created for the DOTNOMICON: GRIMOIRE OF WONDERS Zine (released in February 14th, 2024). I ended up going with Lonan due to a past image involving her magical mishap and Im thought "Let me rope her into it!" The design of the mermaid form is based on her older sister's Kira's mermaid form with a little bit of flares of her own personality. The torn clothes was something I decided to do along with the glowing water and waves. I ended up doing a lot of experimentation, with the splash particles and the dust used to form the clothes. The background is originally done in Affininity Designer to try to make the easier to edit the text before editing it, as well as making the unique watermark.
