My Little Mages- Gilda the Harpy By Didj Watch

So, while I'm on a military course and using my spare time on a rather ambitious semi-secret art project, via pressure from increased popularity of my Little Mages fan work I decided to begin the 4th series. Starting off with Gilda the Griffon re-imagined as a Harpy Warrior. I guess that Gilda, being depicted as a very different, non equine, character in the show is not restricted by the rule of having to be a magic class. Or an actual class at all. So, I made her a harpy, which I think translates very well from her griffon design.



There was no cutie mark to incorporate into the clothing on this one, but it was fun to think about what kind of clothing a harpy would wear, given that most depictions of them are nude, as well as how she would put the clothing on. I took a sort of Greek toga (Harpies are Greek myth after all) and made it wrap around her upper torso pinned to light shoulder armor secured around her neck as to no interfere with her wings. Her pants are laced down the sides to accommodate for the large talons, but even then you can see that there are tares on the ends from her claws. These are all fun things to think about when designing a character that I love doing.



As for the line up I'm imagining for this series, I'm thinking..

Shining Armor as an Ardent

The Changling Queen as a Necromancer

Cadance as a Spirit Healer

Granny Smith as a Sage

Cherrilee as a Loremaster
