This is my contest entry piece for the Easkull Contest for :iconsythgara:. This is my beloved character Gitana de Magica with the beloved Emperor Navarro, showing him some important spells that could aid his country and people against times of war.

The book was used from stock provided by :icongothicbohemianstock: and Gitana was originally made by me while Emperor Navarro was created by :iconsythgara:. Do NOT steal any of our works for personal profit or gain. This is STRICTLY a contest piece.

Thank you!

Oh i'm liking that idea : D I bet he would indeed be pretty confused if someone showed him this sort of thing. Well....mainly since I haven't used hard magic within my world yet. Still..hehe, looks great .

I have a deeper story of how Gitana came to work for Navarro but I didn't know if you wanted the entire thing so I kinda kept it short. I wasn't sure about the color tone for him too so I just chose one. I hope it is ok. And thanks :) Best coloring I have done by far so I am very very happy :D Although...Gitana looks shiny ^^'' lol

Oh! I am sorry :( I just saw the sketches, I didn't see the full coloring of him :(

As for the story, Gitana de Magica is a Veil Walker, a species of humanoid like creatures that have the Sight, the ability to read the minds of others, meld their souls to other living beings to read their spirits, sense each other's locations, and can receive visions of the past, present, and future. She wears the mask over her face to hide her location to her fellow Walkers as well as to keep herself from connecting with other minds to focus on her work. Magic for Veil Walkers is a taboo and those who are born with it are eventually shunned from their community or are kept under strict rules to make sure they never use it. However, with Gitana, at a young age, she accidentally killed her parents when bandits raided their house, Gitana using her magic to keep the bandits back but killed her parents by accident. Her Elders banished her and she has been traveling as a nomad ever since. She was attacked by bandits again when she was found bleeding on the side of the road when Emperor Navarro found her.To repay him for his kindness, Gitana has sworn an oath to Navarro, his kingdom, and his people with her magical talents to ensure she would provide them the best potions, enchantments, and other magical knowledge to give them more days in the future...to pay for what she did to her family too.
