Oh my, what a beautiful illustration!! Is there a story behind this particular scene?

Yes, it's an YCH with the plot that the teacher teaches the student to apply magic

That's so cool!! Are they both your characters or was it a two person YCH? And does your character(s?) normally practice and use magic?

I do not know about this :) Characters are not mine. The owner of the left character wrote a comment below

OH! Woops! Sorry! Well in that case might I say your talent at drawing is second to none! The detailing is very impressive and your skill in this picture are astounding!!

Thank you very much!

oh any time! You're more than deserved of the praise!!

This just came out so gorgeous! Thank you again, so much!

Oh you're the owner of the character! Well they look amazing and if you'd have the time I'd love to learn more about them!

I'm only the owner of one character, the student (Iyra, the mountain lion—you can read a bit about her here if you'd like!). You're welcome to shout on my wall or note me anything you'd like with regard to asking questions! There's no story behind this particular piece as it's a "your character here" commission, but the premise is that a master magician is teaching magical application to a student. It came out great, didn't it!? 😁

Oh my goodness yes! The artist of the piece knocked it out of the park! Thank you very very much for the links! I look forward to reading over them the moment I get a chance to and it's really wonderful to meet you!!

Thank you again so very much for this! It turned out beautifully!

Thank you!
