My own piece for the Genasi and Aasimar Secret Satan! I had the absolute pleasure of drawing for Hans, with their fantastic Aasimar unicorn satyr, Aurelia! Who was a delight to draw
The character was PERFECT for some Art Nouveau vibes and I went straight for that! Asked them for their favourite flowers too, which are littered around the picture. The bird is just… A bird, idk, who doesn't love a bird? I hope you like the picture though, it was VERY challenging!!
