What if Zeta was more eviler, and what if "Genie for a Day" was more darker than how the episode actually happened.

If you're unfamiliar with the episode "Genie for a Day" here's a brief summery:
Leah makes a wish where she was a genie for a day. She briefly gained the genie powers and has to grant 3 wishes to whoever got her necklace. Zeta overhearing everything creates a potion to get Leah's necklace. Because of this, Leah was forced to grant Zeta's Wishes. Leah knew Zeta was gonna ask for wishes that would make her powerful so she came up with a way to smart-ass the wishes as a means to waste them so she couldn't become powerful. Surprisingly it worked out cause the 1st 2 wishes caused Zeta to become muscular and was sent to the top of a mountain. And the 3rd wish was wasted on a cookie for Nazboo thinking Leah would've screwed it up, which angered her because Leah granted it perfectly. Thanks to her original wish, because all 3 wishes were used, Leah turned back into a human and made a wish to undo Zeta's own wishes.

Originally, when I read the episode description, I thought Zeta was actually gonna get her wish and became so powerful, and that Leah wasn't gonna smart-ass her way out of it. And the fact Leah was a genie herself meant she couldn't get wishes from Shimmer and Shine. I know I keep forgetting this is a little girl cartoon on Nick Jr and they couldn't do anything dark and serious, though it would've been pretty cool to see. I'm legit starting to wonder if this is a problem, that I'm making darkish fanart of a cute kid's cartoon. Seriously I put a lot of effort to make this pic as dark and evil as possible. I was gonna have Leah Crying in the bottle but I felt that might be going too far.

There's concept art of what Zeta was originally suppose to look like before the creators went with an angry Shantae look. Judging by this, I think Zeta was meant to be more eviler than how she's portrayed on the show. Yeah she's a sneaky person, willing to steal, but other times she's been pretty chill just hanging with the girls, almost to the point where she's a good girl. Seeing how bad-ass she looked I decided to try to combine the old design with the modern art style. Ehhh, it's a close approximation, (Though it honestly sucks trying to draw the triangle pattern by hand) Hopefuly the creators of the show will see what I've made and (assuming they're aren't bothered with seeing Leah trapped and scared) they're happy to see an old concept being turned into this!
