Winx Club but make it ✨high fantasy✨ | Redesigning the Fairies to look more Magical (CSP Speedpaint)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 жов 2022
- As a long-time enjoyer of both Winx Club and character design it really was only a matter of time until I tried my hand at playing with their iconic fairy designs. This time it was to give them a little high fantasy twist!
This was actually meant to be done way earlier but I got buried by exams and then caught the flue right after so rip my voice and recording. Either way it's done now and I hope you enjoy!

Honestly greek sirens actually were birds, so musa looks good here!
WHAT I'm greek and did not know that. I thought that sirens were mermaids but creepyass looking
@@yenovefa from what I know they were originally described as bird with a human face and then somewhere along the way they turned into fish woman in the more modern retalings 😁 I've heard of a myth that tried to explain this change by saying that the Sirens once tried to challenge the greek muses to a singing competition, and when they lost they were turn into fish as a punishment
@@yenovefa Nope. In The Odyssey they are described as creatures with the upper body (from the chest to the head) being beautiful women who's singing can ensnare sailors with the lower half being bird-like with sharp talons that can render flesh from bone. Also, the lure of the siren is promising your deepest desires... not sex. IT COULD be sex but it can also be fame, glory, food, etc.
@@IceQueen975ah I thought that was harpies 💀
I think they used an Eastern dragon for the dragon flames because it's more spiritual and the long body with frills and fru kind of looks like fire
Oh yeah, that makes a lot of sense actually. The more you know.
It’s probably for the aesthetic but eastern dragons are water spirits. 🥲
@@sophieplumbob2900 oh im sorry i did not know but now i do know and that really makes no sense
@@sophieplumbob2900 but also associated with good and life.
I feel like it was for the transformation part. Eastern dragons are slicker and look better when coiling around a person compared to a western dragon. This works too
the bird thing for Musa makes total sense! Music in high fantasy makes me think of sirens, like your friend mentioned. AND sirens used to be associated with a more harpy-like design as opposed to the mermaid design we know now
Honestly, my favorite would have to be, hands down, Stella. I mean, other than Flora and Bloom whose powers are more than obvious due to the vines and flames that you've added, I feel like Stella's shine through her design quite a lot. If I were to not know anything about Winx Club and I were to look at your reimagination of Stella, I would most likely think that her powers had to be light-based. I like how her design is also not overly complicated or frilly despite the shawl and the added jewelry, I honestly think that this outfit is one that could be transitioned into the cartoon and would still pass for a basic fairy form on someone else.
Thank you so much!!
Just want to say that your redesign Stella is awesome and looks like some sort of Amazon warrior who could totally kick someone's ass (the initial sketch kind of threw me, since I'm used to Stella reading like the most waif-like of the lot to my eye, and you drew her like an absolute _tank,_ in a delightful way). She has a great vibe of a Dungeons & Dragons-type paladin, as I got a vibe of her torso piece beneath the translucent layers being something like a breastplate, rather than fabric, and a strong feeling of a warrior in her stance and the way she held the staff. I was never really a Stella fan back when I watched the show, but I'm totally down for warrior queen Stella.
Loved Winx as a kid and this is just awesome
Thank you!! I adored it as a kid, it was just such a fun show!
Love all the designs and the more monsterous elements you gave them. And as the resident winx opsessed indivdual, the main reason the Great Dagon and Dragon Flame are represented as an easten style dragon is because most western interpretations of dragons are big scary monsters that need to be hunted due to the general evil nature, whilst easten dragons are often considered as gods and treated like protecters who are just generaly very nice in nature, however due to their god like nature they also punnish those who deserve it, much like how the Great Dragon was a god that created the entire magical universe but also has the power (through bloom) to punnish those like the trix for the evil actions. I do agree it is strange to have Sparks/Domino and Bloom not be Asian inspired but as the show was intended for Italian audiences and the fact that Bloom is based on the creators wife, I imagine that was why they chose to have her be a white character. So at least personaly I think redesigns of bloom should have her as an asian character but also i can't deny that western style wings look so cool. Again love the designs, the winx fan in me just needs to info dump about the show lol, lemme know if anything in this comment didn't make sense :]
That explanation makes so much sense, thank you!!! Looking at it like that, I totally get it. I used to be a big dragon fan when I was a kid, so in my brain all dragons are friend shaped, even the ones from European myths that are supposed to be evil and dangerous, so I totally missed that connection there.
And yeah, I also love giving characters cool dragon wings lol
@@chromaimp1315 friend -shaped is so wholesome ❤
Ironically musa is my fave of all them
But also aren’t eastern dragons usually water spirits and rain bringers and such?
@@alexschofield8085 depends on the specific places and myths/religions. Like in most chinese dipictions of dragons they're water spirits, but even then some water based dragons would breathe fire, typically as a punishment but not always like what i belive is called the torch dragon, was often considered a solar god and creates warm winds by breathing. The idea of water dragons is acually explored in season 3 with the water stars, so in my opinion its cool to have both varients and also i think winx club might've just felt having an easten dragon would be better creativly but thought more western audinces would recognise a fire breathing dragon, so its possible they weren't even thinkng about myths like the torch dragon or the fire dragon from the zodiac but councidently they're not pulling the idea out of nowhere lol
i would also have to look into it but i belive like japan and veitnam only have water based dragons and overall most known and more common interpretations of easten dragons are them being water gods so its acually kinda hard to find any fire realated myths online apart from the zodiac one
First of all, I've never understood the fascination with drawing men and women like they're sexually dichotomous. And on a completely related note, I adore that your designs are sprinkled with adrogynous features. It's very human. It's very visually interesting. It's nice that not every aspect of their design has to contribute to their femininity. Second of all, the fantasy elements slap. Third of all, which is just a reiteration of second of all, not even Gordan Ramsey could complain about the flavor. And Fourth, I just... love. That's it. Good soup.
They're not even necessarily androgynous (though I wouldn't complain, trust me on that front), they just... look like people. Plenty of people don't look like the walking embodiment of exclusively feminine or masculine traits, and it's nice to see that reflected in art... and then, also, have it be wild and whimsical? I have never, not once, understood the points I try to make. Excuse me.
The colors in Musa's design fill me with vibes and I would fight a horrifying glob abomination for her.
@@ratworm9927 androgynous means they have both masculine and feminine features, which fits this person's artsyle very well
This is such a lovely compliment salad, thank you
I think that's a common thing in "girl shows," and it's pretty much one of the few occassions you can see hyperfeminine, powerful women in the media. Usually in YA and adult stuff, traits traditionally associated with masculinity are associated with female characters.
Just an FYI, Aisha is her official name. Layla something that happened with a dubbing company called 4Kids, and other translations derived the name from it. Aisha, however, was her name in the original Italian version and later seasons have since changed it so(though that probably caused some confusion to international fans)
But I also wanted to suggest, that Musa could be a bard with a bird theme! This mostly to do with the siren thing you've already mentioned, but also because of her other musical talents, both instrumental and vocal. Plus, Lisa Fevral has done several videos on the Winx Club franchise, and in one of them where she restyles the live-action show(along with possible fairy outfits), she found that Musa's bottoms in her Enchantix form are in fact, _minstrel_ shorts! So the idea was already in the show anyway
I really Like Bloom's and Musa's looks. I kinda want to see them as DnD characters now. Thank you for this gift
Those feel like a darker more grown-up version of Winx club (that Netflix is truly failing at), also it looks like it could be their ultimate transformation, like the best/most powerful they could be, principally Bloom. I love you kept some of the original design and colour! It's amazing work!
Eastern dragons are more linked to water then fire so the change isn't really bad
Mine is actually musa just because the colours are so beautiful- and I think in close second is Layla because bright pink and green is my favorite colour combo and mermaids are just.. mermaid-y. idk they’re all so pretty-
Pink and green is such a good colour combination, honestly!! I also have a soft spot for mermaids, idk but they're just so fun to draw :3
@@chromaimp1315 yes. Mermaid = no legs = inner peace. 😂 seriously tho- legs give me so much pain.
I love Musa’s redesign, she looks like a siren
Definitely Bloom, my God, the way you incorporated the dragon in the design. I really loved Musa with the harpy/bird theme thing, that was ingenious, Musa is actually my fav character in the show, but Bloom won the cake in this.
I love your vision of them design wise ! Also, the mix between "masculine" and "feminine" traits is so refreshing and makes it interesting. It is confusing (in a good kind of way) at first. Society and media pushes such controlled and precise beauty standards that on TV etc you only have specific kinds of bodies/physical aspects that are well represented. I love to see diversity, originality and I definitely am a big fan of your whole art style ❤️ They turned out so good !!
omg thank you so much!!!
@@chromaimp1315 Sadly, the designers can't really go without the conventional designs most of the time bc they are not in charge of the art in general. The company that hires them most of the time just wants simplicity and easy to understand characters so they can market it to a bigger public. Its sad to see how talented people can't do more interesting characters not because they didn't want to but because the people that pays them don't want to get into controversy with the older conservative people who doesn't even watch the shows.
But the body types are just forced representation, Stella is a feminine fashionista princess and she is literally supposed to be very model like, it makes no sense to make her obese
Thicc
@@Emily_Bondevik_Official You don’t know what obese means.
Your art style is amazing and I love the twists on their classic Charmix outfits and elements!! You should have done the designs for the live action series imo
Thank you so much, that's very high praise
@@chromaimp1315 Agreed!
I’m kinda sad we didn’t get to see Flora being coloured but I absolutely loved this video!! 💖
I didn't even notice her part cuts off so abruptly, I don't know what happened there T-T But I'm glad you enjoyed it nonetheless
i absolutely love these, especially how you incorporated different body types! it feels so nice to have my body type represented in such beautiful art :) and not to mention the overall designs! i adore stella’s because i’m a sucker for space themes but they’re all so wonderful
Techna's design tickles a specific part of my brain that wants to be an androgynous and mysterious hooded figure in the corner of a tavern and I'm here for it
300/10 art
While I would keep the blend of fantasy and futuristic scifi in a live action adaptation or animated show of Winx, I would make the fairies more fantastical in terms of physical appearance. Get really creative with the character designs to show that they're not just humans with wings and magic but this whole different magical race.
Welp, you did it, now I want to write fanfiction inspired in your art, as soon as you said "don't ask me how it works".
Me, I want to dig into that.
Aside from this being inspiring, every design was beautiful, all around good things 🤭
I would be absolutely delighted to read whatever you come up with!!
@@chromaimp1315 Well, now I have permission, might as well start planning 😊💜✨
I lovee how you drew Bloom and Musa
👁👄👁❤️
The masc features threw me at first. I thought maybe you were making drag versions. The designs are amazing and I love the breakdowns of their color palettes. I used to wonder about those choices a LOT. Musa is actually my favorite of the bunch! The wings are a good take and again, THE COLORS. Great work!!
i really liked your redesignes, they’re so thoughtful and beautiful!! my favs were leyla's and stella's)) also it’s so cool that you drew different body tipes, thank u😭😭
Thank you so much!! Stella is one of my personal favourites too
Winx Club was one of my favorites and probably the most cutsie show I watched as a kid. If you ever feel nostalgic go back and watch seasons 1-3, beyond that it starts getting ridiculous. This fantasy version your characters allude to however, I would watch.
I love your stella desing, the body type, the spiky crown, the flowy blue fabric, the fact that she is weilding her staff as mace and seems very ready to whack you in the face with it. Just perfect.
Design wise I love Floras and Blooms the most because I love the Dragon aspects you put in there it's such a great way to interpret and also highlight the dragon Flame cause it is a big part of her nevertheless but never was considered to be put into her later designs in the show sadly although every other one had some kind of their powers worked in their designs. Flora's I love just simply because I feel like it's been the most close to the first original transformation design which I think was a very good choice as to the fact that her original design was very beautiful and fit her personality and her powers. It's like a more grown up, elegant and detailed version of it.
Also biiig YES to the diverse body types! Even though I loved the body types of the girls when I was younger (which actually is not a good thing tbh 😅) I am so in LOVE with the fact that they don't have all the exact same body types (just thin, tall and curves on the u know places) its much more beautiful and just realistic tbh
All in All I love all of them so much! Also Musa you did really well especially because of the siren thing cause if remember correctly in the Greek mythology sirens were originally portrayed as women with strong bird aspects actually.
I LOVE THIS IDEA OMGGG. I feel like for Stella, she could've been more associated with being an Angel or have Angel like qualities to her design much like how Bloom has Dragon like qualities for her
Techna besides a Tech Wizard, could also be portrayed as an Artificer. Someone that create stuff, in d&d usually both mechanically and with magic. Usually with medieval high fantasy people go straight to Steam Punk, but can be anything you want.
Oh, that's a really cool idea actually!
This video was absolutely incredible and a delight to watch. It was also my first video from your channel and really enjoyed how you incorporated the elements, like the original design of each Winx Club fairy, color schemes,as well as their signature powers, while giving them more of the fantasy vibe.
Really enjoyed how you made each design. However, my two personal favorites were Bloom and Flora, not just because they are my two favorite characters from the Winx series, but I enjoyed how you incorporated a scale design for Bloom's costume and making Flora's feet more root like.
Once again absolutely amazing job and thank so much for sharing it with us here on UA-cam. I have to say that you are a talented and wonderful artist.
They look amazing!!! I absolutely adore your art style. Btw for Musa a banshee could have also been an idea. I don't know if that would fit the full theme, so I can't say that it would have been a better option, cuz I generally don't know, but it just came to mind so I thought I'd bring it to the table! But oh man, the designs are just gorgeous! Fantasy highly appeals to me and so does your art style. I would love to eventually get to this point with my art, so this is going straight in the inspo (inspiration) playlist! Can't wait to see more from you in the future ^^💜
A banshee is such a cool idea!!! Now I wish I'd thought of that before I finished these.
Also thank you so much, I'm also a sucker for fantasy, it's one of my main inspirations for getting into drawing at all!
I wish you all the best on your art journey
@@chromaimp1315 Oh my goodness, I actually wasn't expecting you to see this comment, but it makes me so happy that you saw it! Maybe you could still do the banshee version of Musa if you ever decide to draw spoopy versions of the Winx club, maybe a fun idea for the next Halloween or a challenge! Doesn't matter what you decide, I absolutely can't wait for the next vid. It would be awesome to see more characters from different shows drawn in your style (just an idea that you can use in the future in case you're low on vid ideas).
Lastly, have a great day/night and it was an absolute pleasure talking to you! 💜
@@MTSgt I'm definitely keeping the banshee idea in my back pocket for any possible future Winx redesigns (I was playing with the idea of swapping the witches and fairies and seeing how that would change their designs).
I actually don't know when I'll get around to doing more character design/fanart stuff, I'm kind of all over the place with my art and very bad at sticking to plans XD
@@chromaimp1315 Hahhahha that's an absolute mood! XD
I also understand that it's hard being able to make vids considering you're a student as well. School just messes up any chance of having an art schedule/video schedule. Oh I almost forgot to say this but I've gone ahead and shared your yt channel on my discord server. I really do believe that you deserve to hit that 1k goal and hopefully this will at least help to get you to 300 quicker 🛐💜
I’m in awe of all of these… flora is absolutely stunning (she’s always been my favorite) and Musa??? Hello?? She’s beautiful. You ate this up omfg
incredible designs
Thank you!!!
I want 10 season and 4 movies. Those designs are absolutely gorgeous! And even if Musa wasn't my favourite, your design of her is striking.
Gotta say, I love all of these to bits, but if I have to pick one, it's gotta be *THICCC* Stella! She absolutely rocks!
Interesting take on their new looks. Always loved Musa (music) and Techna looks better in the cloak or trench coat.
I mean, in greek mythology sirens actually were more bird-like so the design really fits! I think she's actually my favorite of the redesigns
Whoa, I love the way you shade! It's so colourful!
your artstyle is amazing 😍 for some reason, Musa is my favorite design. love those 4 wings
They all look so fantastic!!!
One of the best ideas I’ve seen in awhile
these designs look so cool
absolutely LOVED the new designs!!! also, Flora is my favorite too and it's perfect how you designed her. also, for the walking thing, I imagined her walking like League of Legends Lissandra's walking animation *-*
But also u are criminally underrated 0-o like wot?
Just a few hours ago i saw this on tumblr and now in my recommendations. Wow!
Wow! These are so cool! You’re so talented!
I really love the new design, and most of all I LOVE your androgenous art style!!!
Omggg these are beautiful designs!
The designs are so fresh and fun 🥰 I loved to see your drawing process.
My favorites are probably Bloom and Aisha, but honestly all of them are great. You did so well :)
Perfection in the wings
Thank you
Discovered your channel thanks to this video and OH MY GOD This designs!! They’re beautiful and creative, I love them 🥺💕
I think I’m gonna bingewatch your videos today because I really want to see more of your artstyle haha! Keep it up!! 💕
I couldnt stop thinking of D&D classes for them, which thats just me being me, but as I see it Bloom - Sorcerer, Stella - Paladin, Flora - Druid, Layla - Monk (I have justification), Techna - Rouge/Artificer multiclass, Musa - Bard
yes yeS YES YES I love every single one of these. Now I want to read a book about them. Also your art style? Immaculate.
Thank you!!
The designs are incredible!!! I LOVE your shapelanguage and the way you draw different bodytypes and the mix of feminine and masculine features uhgg so good! Delicious! Good food! 😤🤌
I used to be obsessed with this show! I've been meaning to redesign them also, but I was going to take a whole other approach with my redesigns. I LOVE that you went with high fantasy!! I haven't seen that before for the winx! And you executed it so well! 😍
I'm so glad I got your channel recommended! I love finding small, talented creators to support and make some art friends 🥰
Your art is gorgeous and I'm definitely following along for your journey! ❤️🍃 I hope you have a lovely day!
Thank you so much!!
just discovered your channel, these designs are so cool! its funny how you like Musas desgin the least, I love it especially, because the bird wings look so fluffy and the color scheme turned out so amazing
I like the designs, that is an interested way to represent their powers
They all look so cool and powerful! These designs are very creative. My favorite is probably Flora with Aisha close behind 😊
i'm so happy now i love when ppl make vids like this oneee ToT
I love these designs more than I loved Winx Club as a kid! Possibly because they're all amaizing and I love fantasy with a passion!
My favourite of your designs is actually Musa, which surprised me, because I'm generally not a fan of birds, or bird-like people in fantasy. It makes me want to draw birds as more than just background decor, for the very first time.
I liked the mermaid best, the glow of pink looked great. Your art is very pretty, and the commentary was well thought out and nice to listen to
I love your art style! My personal favorites are actually Musa and Flora, I love your take on them. :)
these are sooooo good
Your Bloom is like the sun in a summer sky ❤
Petition to have you take over any future Winx re-dos for the sake of ✨️vibes✨️ and ✨️design✨️??
gorgeous🤩✨
I knew the wave fairy as Ayesha. Like eye-e-sha. I loved her so much because I loved water powers and I thought she was very badass.
It would be awesome to see other genre shifting work from you! Ie ‘Cinderella but it’s a crime triller’ or ‘Fillmore!, but it’s Bridgeton’
Adore this!
Love these designs!
Tecna could possibly also be a cyborg being more sci-fi than high fantasy. But I think that might lose the high fantasy aspect, Wizard Tecna still looks great!
I like your take on this, it's refreshing. Just a question though: doesn't Stella bust look a bit... "bulky"? I just find slightly too big for the rest of her body, but that could be my imagination!
You should definitely be hired to work on the high budget winx film! These look incredible! But also, these designs tell a story visually!
Side note: Flora in World Of Winx actually uses the plant's root system to communicate with plants all over the world!
Your designs are so beautiful! Idk much about design or outfits so I can't give and critiques ^^; But I love you love all the girls and your art is just so good and pleasing to look at
It's hard to pick but 3 favs are Bloom, Stella, and Layla
Omg I love them AAAA
In later seasons they removed the moon part of stella. She is now just the fairy if the shining sun
theyre so prettyyy
Muse is the one who supposed to be Asian even some of her outfits are sometimes east Asian inspired
I loved both animated and real versions of Winx
I'm glad you went with a western dragon instead of eastern dragon because western dragons are actualy the first dragons to breath fire and be associated with it 💜
For once I can't choose who is my favorite. They all stand out from each other really well and have their own uniqueness to their designs that I just love. Usually I would go with both Techna and Musa and while I love their designs I think I like Bloom's and Flora's more.
love them all but flora has always been my favorite
wow... they're all so beautiful 😭 and their vibes too ahah. can we have a show with this kind of designs?
Yess Leila appreciation post
Subscribed!! Love ur content !
Idk 'bout yall but Techna is giving me gender envy ✨ anyways all the designs were so cool i loved... Idk like i cant choose honestly like everyone looks really good 👍 i love Flora's and Aisha's/Layla's designs and Stella is honestly slayingg💅✨✨
Thank you!!!
looking back on the designs, Techna definitely has a lot of ✨gender✨ maybe that's why it's my favourite lol
These are all so pretty!!! I never saw winx, so I can't compare these to the original designs, but I love them! My favourites are probably the blue dragon and the flower one.
You missed out on truly groundbreaking television, I tell you! Also why am I not surprised that you like the plant themed character sdjfhjsf
thought you had more subscribers tbh, cause its really good. You definetly deserve it at least
Just like with the original, Flora has the best design. I appreciate that you made Aisha a mermaid, too! I do wish Tecna's eyes had a more cyber-feel to them, though.
If I would design Tecnha in an high fantasy setting, I would make her a steampunk cyborg wizard. I would really emphasize her uniqueness in the setting.
Also, your musa looks like an harpy.
First of all harpy! it's basically a flying siren and oh look your Musa design looks like a harpy! it may have an unintentional but the harpy reference is still a good one!!!
This was my show and I love seeing a redesign of the characters! They are so beautiful 💜 (my favorite is Musa, but they are all really cool)
Thank you so much ❤ I'm so glad Musa's design is appealing to people because even though it's not my persoal favourite I'm still low-key proud of it :3
@@chromaimp1315 She is one of my favorite characters, and she reminds me of a harpie which is funny enough, one if my favorite creatures in mythology
The Netflix show was pretty good actually. Different... but good.
Techna here though was.. 😳Flora has always been my favorite though.
Idk if anyone has said this, but is some sort of mythology there is a such being as a air siren that act almost exactly like a sea siren but it is more bird like, so in that way your design makes sense ^^ btw I love the art style you have it's very pretty!!
I could be wrong so please do you own research before believe what I say wholeheartedly 😅
Tecna giving me MAJOR gender envy rip
Well this is awkward... But i do like your musa design😃
Personally I’ve only watched episodes up until season 4 and some of season 5 and 6. But trust me the first few seasons are the best (and that includes the animation)
I love ur designs! Ur so talented! And btw Aisha is actually her name in the original Italian version! Idk why they changed it in the dubs
Omg omg omg i need to know so much how to draw like you. Itˋs amazing and plus, you redraw the winx 😍😍.
I beg you to do a video where you explained your style inspiration, your step by step, your shadow and highlight. Please 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
At least, whose artists inspire your style ? I need to study your references and you as my reference. Thank so much
- A French fan who apologizes if my words are bad
Thank you so much, this is a very high compliment
Musa is my favorite of your designs 🥰
