- Native -

My last submission for #suviappreciationweek, which ends today :3 Thank you to everyone who took a part in it and made it fun We'll be closing the party later over at LabyrinthofStars, which is my collab account with Silencelabyrinth :3 

This is my OC Safiyah in her native fairy form. Remember how the earth fairies in season 4 had a transformation that wasn't really magic winx or anything else? I decided to do something like that for Safiyah. It's supposed to be a kind of unspecific native homeworld form. Also because it's fun to work with transformations that are completely unrelated to everything else  

This gorgeous outfit is designed by the wonderful and talented MentalDysfunction Thank you so much for this Suvi, and thank you for being sweet, supportive and for sharing your creativity with us :3 Your work is always so inspiring  

I finished the design by adding in the head piece and shoes. I don't think it was meant to be a fairy outfit originally. But I made some wings for it, which I'm quite proud of how turned out, and smacked them on :3 I think it works :3 

I used a darker skin tone on Safiyah this time and played up some of her African features. I think she'll stay like this. This is what I want for her, but I always find those features difficult to draw and scared I won't get them right. I think I'm going to try harder on this. 
Safiyah lives in a tribe in the desert on her home planet. I tried to play up the tribal look here with the face paint. I hope it worked :3
