Description

Drawing Process:

For the “Odine Before” faun drawing, my process includes several steps. First, the sketch is drawn softly with a light colored mechanical pencil or graphite to draft the idea. I follow up with several shades of different wax colored pencils to add depth and a sense of atmosphere to the drawing. Then graphite is drawn on top to tighten and clean the drawing as well as add details. The colored sketch remains intact and subtly visible beneath the graphite of the final drawing. This process captures not just the final illustration, but also preserves the journey from sketch to finish with each layer of color.

“Odine Before” Faun Drawing Story:

“Long ago, when the “Mother Tree” created the magical creatures of Terratoff, Madame Odine was one of the first fauns born from the fruit of the miraculous tree. A gifted healer, she quickly became a cherished leader among the creatures of Terratoff. When all hope was lost, Madame Odine was depended upon to revive the dangerously ill and the dying. She lived a happy life in her hospital bringing joy to the creatures whose lives she saved.

But all of that changed when the “Rotten” magical plague began its spread across the realm. For the first time in her life Madame Odine faced a sickness that she could not cure, and it broke her heart. In desperation, Madame Odine began quarantining her Rotten patients and studying them, hoping to find an answer. Through her research it was confirmed that “The Rott” was corrupting the magical essence within the body itself, a poison even the most sophisticated healing spells could not cleanse. Unable to purge the Rott, Madame Odine suggested they attempt to purge magic itself from the afflicted. The royal court refused to sanction the experiment, but Madame Odine was determined to try.

And try she did, but something went terribly wrong…

One night Madame Odine attempted to purge the Rott from a young female faun that had been abandoned to her care. By drawing the magical essence out of a the creature through the eyes, Odine was successful in removing all magic from her patient…but at what cost? The forbidden spell left the young girl an empty shell, unable to communicate, feel, or think for herself. Horrified by what she had done, Madame Odine locked herself in the tower of her hospital alone for months.

It is said that the corrupted magic that was drawn from the girl remained in the air and haunted Odine like a phantom. The spirit hounded her relentlessly reminding Odine of her mistake. With time, Odine was consumed by guilt and poisoned herself. When she finally emerged from the tower it was clear that she had transformed into a Rott herself…”
