Description
A very long time ago I drew this same image and it's still one of my most popular posts here ironically. The art from that image was so bad and old and I just wanted to revisit it, fixing volumes and weight and inking/coloring.Still though the art is updated I still feel the same way about the two shows. I feel like W.I.T.C.H. was really let down in the way of marketing. I liked the art, animation and even the writing much more than Winx Club. That said, the art slightly improved in the current Winx Club save for the in show 3d animation which destroyed the character "designs" they created. The writing got even worse and personally I think the story should have ended after the third season at most. Every plot in the new seasons consists of finding a thing to get a power to get a thing to get a power to somehow without fighting save someone for some reason even retconing previous plot points ie. Daphne. Both shows are now off the air in the USA. Nick has dropped Winx, it seems, and W.I.T.C.H. has been gone for a long time without even an official DVD release and the books were never finished being released here either. *shrugs*

Now all we have to do is ask the question: "What would happen if Martin Mystery met Mikey Simon?"

Ironically, W.I.T.C.H. is still a big hit over in Europe. On separate occasions (and years) I've gone to study and/or work, the stores still carry magazines devoted to the series. Besides neat trinkets for girls, they also are still writing stories. But it's not the original team and boy, are they lackluster/useless ._.;; Plus, typical 'girl's' sections like horoscope, letters, etc. I bought some because of memories, but they're not the same as before.
I think it's just in America the series has been treated unfairly, given how Europe promotes it...

Yeah they fired the creators of witch so the story changed a lot....but like most Disney cartoons they just don't care about promoting it.

thats a kind of irony here
a great idea with a plan of great story is fallen into oblivion while clichΓ© idea with a plan of coming up with any silly story gets popular.
what is about me I liked the Witch comics and I loved the 3rd season of Winx club (I dont really care about the newest ones)

Lovely art Mary! I used to watch W.I.T.C.H while babysitting my niece... she was quite upset when it was cancelled.

WITCH honestly had the better story. It is a shame that it disappeared into nothing.
I enjoy Winx Club for the fact that it rekindles my childhood love of fairies, and I like Musa and Aisha when they're being sassy. Also, the fairy costumes are fun. It has the potential to be amazing, but the writers don't quite grasp it.
In the new series, they seemed to have forgotten the character development in Season 3 and turned Stella into a child again... which is annoying after the way she took control and beat Cassandra and Chimera. Though, their fairy costumes cover more skin, due to people being over sensitive to exposed belly buttons.

I agree... Like why did they create Roxie if she's not even barely there now...and they just sort of abandon story lines and the Trix are a shell of what they could have been. I'm really surprised no one bought the rights to Angels Friends since it's already in English and had Bloom's voice actor.Β

Indeed, they shoved Roxy with the background Alfea fairies who seem to be unable to defend themselves whatsoever.
She gets a line here or there... but not enough.

I just don't get how they became teachers and then suddenly were students again... *shrugs*

Oh geeze! There are too many half naked anorexic winx girls to count.

Oh man, why couldn't W.I.T.C.H have a successful long running TV show like Winx Club? It was a better show!

yeah, especially since Winx Club went into the CGI route, where everything looked uglier and more plastic than Barbie.

LOL TRUEΒ
Musa looks racist to me

Very true! They actually got more generic....

also, in 2D form, they switched animation into the one style i always have a bad feeling on. flash animation, mostly bone structure style. because when i think of that style, it makes me think of Johnny Test (still hate that show with a passion, btw) or those Canadian cartoons like TDI and 6Teen. if they can do the same flash animation style like MLP did, then i'm good. bone structure style, no. just no. =_=

I think it works for Ever After High but you're right... Not here.

Ever After High? Never heard of that one, but by the look of the artwork, it feels like something from Bratz and Monster High, but less punky and gothic.

Same company....

yeah. its amazing, that we these getting more praise, plus the disney princesses and equastria girls, it doesn't seem like barbie's gonna die out as most people think it is. after all, its barbie that inspired all these to happen. well there's also Jem before it died out early on doll sales, but that will probably come back once that live action movie is out.

Whole heartedly agree....and now there's nothing in that vein for girls at all. =\
