Description After getting a gift from featuring those two with Gerudo Link, a character that I adore, I just couldn't allow those two to be next to another belly-dance aesthetic/related character that I adore: Shantae.

I've first seen Shantae in the pages of Nintendo Power. In the issue, they gave hints and tips as to how to best navigate the overworld, reviewed the game and made some generous space for Matt Bozon's artwork, which kinda fascinated me at the time. The game seemed very good, suited to my tastes, yet I didn't have a Game Boy Color and it was impossible to find, so I just relented...Yet I always kept on coming back to that issue, too mesmerized by this half-genie character to really let her go. I wanted to play her games badly, with Risky's Revenge being unfortunately unavailable as I did not have a DSi to download it at the time. It really was with the 3DS that I got to play her games and my constant thoughts about the character were rewarded with solid games and more down the line too. However, the concepts behind her games, notably belly dance, were very vivid in my mind, thus it fueled my desire to learn this art for a long, long while.

Here, we see the half-genie hero dancing and interacting with my muse characters, Sexy Muse and Writer Muse, as they talk and check another one while having a good time. Both my serious and my sexy side have an obvious fascination with Shantae, with illustrations commissioned (including this one) and stories written in her setting or simply with her, thus to see her in the middle between my muses is pretty neat on its own.

This was drawn by an artist named Magic-Mit-Der-Maus, someone who I saw drawing some pretty great Shantae artwork. You can find them on Tumblr under the name Dino-Squirrel, on Twitter under the name Dino-Squirrel din0 _Squirrel and of course on Deviantart by clicking on this icon . They are open for commissions and you can see their commission sheets and prices right here. They have very, very fair prices I must say.  www.deviantart.com/magic-mit-d…

She's still open for commissions if you're interested. One character drawn like this is like 15$ too.

Heh, getting commissions without that is indeed quite difficult.

Yeah and if I did had money I would probably expend it on video games XD

Ya know, after seeing this, Shantae actually does have a sharing of traits between the muses. Having a passion for dancing as Sexy, yet a thoughtful mind a Writer.

I see traces of her design in both, but I think Shantae is too innocent to be like Sexy and too impulsive to be like Writer.

Still, for them to be compared to her is high praise as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, Well, I was only saying she's sorta like something of a mix between their personalities.


But I got to say it's still a great pic.

This is unbelievable adorable, and the muses look PERFECT in Shantae's art-style. Writer Muse herself looks like she belongs in the damn franchise, this works so well! Sexy just looks delighted to be learning dance from the half-genie hero herself (or is it Shantae who's excited at playing pupil?)

It is quite adorable and I think MMDM did a really great job at capturing the style and essence behind the Shantae series, giving them to my Muses as well. They do look like they could be actually coming from the game themselves.

And I believe that Sexy would learn from Shantae as opposed to her teaching the half-genie hero. Shantae was an important part of my journey to become a belly dancer and thus respect must be paid.
