W.I.T.C.H. - Prince Phobos Escanor

Sama blin w shoke

The many faces of Evil

I was inspired for this art by lines from the Russian song "Неизбежность зла" ("Inevitability of Evil", it has an English version "House of Cards"). The idea I think is clear: two sides of the same coin, or the dark and light side of the Force if you wish (somewhere reylo fans cry, including me XD).

I wanted the strongest symbolism, so I drew the Heart of Kandrakar to resemble a yin-yang. The black substance inside is inspired by episode 20 of season 1, when the crystal absorbed the Seal of Phobos. The substance shimmers purple, as this color is obtained by mixing pink and turquoise. The pink belongs to the owner of the Heart of Kandrakar, who infuses it with light energy, and the (almost) complimentary turquoise belongs to the prince, who poisons the artifact with dark magic. The crystal does not reject it, observing neutrality to the exclusion of the strict concept of good and evil. After all, are the sides of the coin so different from each other?

W.i.t.c.h. [2001]

Stunning phobos / will piece down by @alilyushka—

so happy with this commission, been staring at this for hours

Q: The character is preparing Christmas cookies + Meridians, lift the veil of secrecy: do you celebrate the New Year? Maybe you have some special winter traditions?

The prince celebrated the last major holiday (Halloween) in prison. But for the New Year, Queen Elyon decided to give her brother a chance to reform. And taking all precautions, she moved him to Earth to introduce him to local traditions.

Not that Prince Phobos was thrilled. However, he liked it even less behind bars. So far everything is going relatively peacefully, but the difference in worldview makes itself felt :D

P.S. According to Caleb, the Meridians hold a similar holiday not in the middle, but at the end of winter - on the last day of the season. And they actually roast a bull (information taken from the episode "Happy Birthday, Will").

Of course, this may be an analogue of Maslenitsa, and not New Year. Here we can only guess. The timing is not an exact guide.

For comparison, in ancient Russia the New Year was first celebrated as on Meridian (late February-early March). At this moment, the earth began to awaken and the Sun began to gain strength. After the baptism, the celebration was moved to September 1st. And already under Peter I the New Year moved to the familiar January 1st.

About the festive sacrifice is already my headcanon. But it fits quite harmoniously into the realities of dark fantasy. In a world where there is magic and dangerous monsters, you will once again wonder whether some ritual is really a beautiful tradition/superstition, and not a guarantor of safety.

And the Meridians really like it (especially if the sacrifice can then be fried and eaten during the celebration) :D

Happy New Year!  (text may not be entirely accurate due to translation difficulties)

alright everyone, i understood from the comments and reblogs on the mister w.i.t.c.h. poll that we need revenge for that utterly wrong result from 2002 so it’s time to redo the poll

also pls reblog because we need more sampling

Imagine a new farmer moving to your neighborhood. He lives in the outskirts, rarely seen by anyone yet provide 99% of region overall output. He's somewhat antisocial, speaks with the forest and odd, otherworldly sounds are coming from his farm at night.

Suddenly you notice locals acting in a strange way and new hybrids of animals and plants appear in a valley. What could it all mean?
