Description
:// No Cold Can Hold Her Back C O M M I S S I O N
:// `Astralseed 's Mystica
`Astralseed was the first person to commission me for the Save the Alice fund and she asked for her character Mystica, throwing me the reins on the whole project. Even telling me I can choose which color she wanted to be in the picture.
Being in the mindset of 'healing' something, I decided to go with the green healing magic flavor of Mystica. I'm not exactly sure how her magic works so I made it up as I went along but in any case I imagined her using her magic to help heal some forest of pollution ailments it might be having. Not sure where I got it.
In any case, it's very green. And I hope you like it `Astralseed . Thank you so much for your help. ;^;

Thank you, that is definitely what I was going for. n-n I'm kind of rusty on backgrounds so they're clearly something to practice in the future. And yes, that horse is QUITE green indeed. Haha

She is very green, but a very lovely very green. I love her pose. It looks like it COUL be awkward, but you made it work, and now it just looks so natural. The texture on this is lovely, as well.

Thank you. :3 I looked at a few horse rolling pictures and I found I liked the neck position a lot. I love drawing horses lying down for some reason. 8D

Perhaps because it's such a rarely drawn pose? Well, it looks very nice.

xD I saw this and thought it was a dragon in the thumb tab, then I realized it was a horse and thought, "Only Diikae would draw something that makes you think is something else, but no, it's really a horse." I love your art though. :3 And I will commission you soon! D:

This is absolutely lovely and it's great to see Mystica in colors other than her traditional purple for a change 
I'd actually never really worked out exactly how her magic works so I guess this works quite well 
Thanks hon, this tuned out great!!!

8D Yeah, once you told me that I knew she couldn't be purple. x3 I thought I'd try out something new for her. I'm glad you like it!

I'm so in love with this! It's beautiful, every little bit of it!!

So gorgeous as always! OH how I wish I had the money to commission something like this! I love the colors, and you actually did marvelously at taking such an eyeblinding hue, and making it much more manageable! The pose is sooo sweet, and I'm sure completely annoying! This actually looks like it could be a screencap from an animated cartoon or something! Great job!!!

Thank you. Yes, that neon green is quite a blinding one, but I'm glad that it kind of blends in with the picture. :] And the pose wasn't bad at all. 8D I really enjoyed drawing it and experimenting with it.

Well you definitely did great all around, colors, bg, textures, and pose 8D

Oh wow! This is seriously awesome! The green really stands out in the forest setting. And I love how you portrayed the healing.

Thank you! :3 First I was going to try to have it kind of diffusing in the water but I liked this too. I'm not quite sure whether I was confident enough to do that so I tried this instead.

OH that is pretty, is that the pose we talked about? Because then you placed the wings really good! And a wonderful pose too! The background is really pretty, love the texture and the tree's and the grass. The water splashs are nice touch too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. :3 And yes, this is the pose I didn't want to ruin with the wings. I avoided it as much as possible and I think it's decent. They just looked awkward every where I put them.
Still plugging away on those backgrounds...eventually I'll get better. |3

Aweh Ange, I wish I could help you out- really D:. I really hope you can get the care your little one needs to get better 
This picture is SOOOO COOL though. I really, really love the pose of Mystica... and those wings are amazing! So is this a character you designed for her or is she already a character? I read the artists comment and it says you got free rein on the whole picture... so I was just wondering x3.

She is doing very well right now, actually. :] I need to do another update but the swelling of her eye has gone down a lot and it looks like they're not going to have to take the eye.
Thank you very much. n-n I am very happy with her pose too. It was fun drawing something so...different. I guess that's why i feel so burnt out on horses is that it seems there isn't much they can do at times.
No, she's already a character that `Astralseed has had for ages and ages. The link to her sheet is in the artist comments. :]

MYSTICAAAAAA THERE'S SO MUCH I LOVE ABOUT THIS! Green Mystica (can never get enough of that), her pose (rolly polly!!!), the sludgey water (it looks well polluted 
Katy's gonna love this!~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
|3 Yes. I thought I would surprise her since she did say I could choose any color I wanted. Now that I've successfully overkilled green in one picture, I think that I'll be avoiding it in the near future. But yes, I like her little floppy rolling pose with her head bent toward the water. I was proud of those back legs and it felt a shame to cover them up with wings. Not to mention I couldn't make having them folded up look relaxing. The water isn't actually supposed to look polluted. :# My bad on that part, I suppose. I just don't really know how to work with water that well yet.
Thanks though. n-n

Aw damn D: Now I feel rude Waterfalls suck to draw though. Waterfalls and fire, things that are constantly moving and hard to focus on, are the devil
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah, I get where you're coming from. I gave it a lot of...curves. Something to work on for later. |3

It's so pretty! I'm sure she'll love it!
The curse of going out of state for school, I guess. -le sigh-

Thank you. I really hope she does. |3 I still feel rusty with my backgrounds and the color scheme I found myself working with was a very alien one. Haha...
Ah yes, out of state tuition...what a joy that must be. In state tuition is painful enough. >>;

So greeen (: Ilike it!
<333
I love those pose to, it must have been very difficult,
with all those legs iangles, and her head bent like that,
but you did a very good job with it, though and the whole picture
looks just lovely. I adore your background style to, very animated, and very pretty.
The use of texture here is just superb, and wow - this is just really lovely
<3

Haha, maybe a little too green. |3 But that's nature for you. It often happens to be that way unless things are dead/frozen/underwater..and even that last one is a little iffy.
Thanks though. I've gotta get a feel for doing backgrounds again it seems. I'm still not quite content with it but hopefully i'll get there soon enough.

Also, is it okay if I call you Ange?
I FEEL SO RUDE.

Psh, go ahead. xDD I don't mind. 8D If I did, I wouldn't have it free for all to see.

this is awesomely well done, Ange!
Fabulous work on the background, and Mystica is as beautiful as ever. I love the whole healing feel.
Really well done! :]
