(Forgive the crap quality, Procreate is being a little fucker rn)
I’ve decided to call my Wish rewrite “The Fallen Star” AU! For now, at least…
Going to write a fic with the whole story fleshed out and detailed! Similar to @annymation’s Wish rewrite (which, btw, was one of the things that spurred me on to write my own rewrite…)
Also! Design comes from @mythartist21’s design of my rewrite! I don’t think I’m allowed to post their ref sheet, so when they get back to Tumblr after Easter, I’ll ask. But the whole design is theirs! Doesn’t Asha look so pretty? SHE’S GORGEOUS OKAY—
Anyways. I would post the finished drawing, but I have two exams tomorrow. I just love school. It’s just great.
Should probably start studying! So enjoy this little Princess Asha tidbit for now!

Ps, want to see the rewrite outline?
Think of it as a pilot episode, as things will change in the full rewrite… ARGH GOTTA STUDY

Last summer the new Royal Treasury Museum within Ajuda National Palace in Lisbon was opened to display the Portuguese Crown Jewels. The new museum was built using insurance money from the 2002 theft of some of the jewels when they were on exhibition in the Netherlands and was part of a larger restoration project of the palace. Find out more about visiting here.
