SciFi and Fantasy Art Morothca Resting by Nick P. ´LimeGreenSquid´ Marton

"Can't a Demon Sorceress take a break from terrorizing the mortals," Morothca thought to herself as the stray Moa that had been spying on her squealed, caught in her stop spell, "without being watched all the time?"

Morothca reclines atop a cliff that holds the remains of a demon she had defeated centuries ago, the skull's empty eyes ever watching the waters below. Basking in the moonlight, Morothca likes to visit here, the symbol of her first triumph after becoming the Demon Sorceress she is now. This is where she comes to sweep away her conscience, where she comes to reassert the reasons she desires to cause such chaos. This is where she pushes down her former human self so that she can continue to exact revenge ... So that she doesn't become a sobbing mess like other mortal women who don't have the power to strike back at the symbols of those who caused them so much pain in their human lives ...

Phew! This, again, is my character Morothca. I worked on this one for about a week and a half. The one, and obvious, change is the color of her outfit. Where it was originally yellow and orange, it is now purple and darker purple. What took so long completing this is that i was trying to figure out if i should have kept her wearing yellow, or if i should give her a more "evil" color ... or at least more serious, or dark. I don't know if purple will be permanent for her, but i do think it looks good. It's still not her in my mind, but it is her, as well.

Here's what her original colors look like: Morothca drawing from 2004

Anyhoo, hehe, i've always drawn Morothca standing, so i figured i'd do something different for this version. You always see Demon Sorceresses posed evilly, doing evil things ... but sometimes they just want to take a break and rest like any other person, without constantly being watched by the spies of her enemies ... or by curious little creatures, like the little Moa here, hehe.
(For some reason people have been mistaking her green magic surrounding the Moa as being some kind of sceptre or wand ... i have no idea what these people are seeing, cuz it's clearly her hand resting on her hip, green magic being shot out of her fingers at the little eyeball guy - aka the Moa!)
I got the idea for the Moa almost ... 14-16 years ago when i had this nintendo sticker-book about Mario and Legend of Zelda. There was a Moa in that book, and then it was brought up in a grade 4/5/6(can't remember which) class, in a mythological monster thing we were learning at the time. The Moa: An eyeball that flies around on a flame.

I've most recently seen them on Warcraft 2 as the tools of the Ogre Mages. (I haven't played anything newer in the Warcraft game series)

This was all done with Prismacolor colored pencils.
I probably have more to say, but this is already a book as it is!

This is the second time someone has thought that the magic she is shooting out of her fingers at the flying Moa (eyeball creature with the dark green fire) was some sort of wand or sceptre. I thought it looked obviously like magic shooting a creature out of her fingers. Did that not interpret correctly? Cuz the green magic is coming FROM her fingers as her hand rests on her hip ...

24 Sep 2007	Roxanne Hancock	Loading... I like the darker "evil" colors, it’s what makes this very different from the rest of your gallery (which is bright and cheerful and FUN!) Nick P. ´LimeGreenSquid´ Marton replies: "Hehe, thanks! I definitely wanted to go with the darker colours, while still making this one kinda fun and cute, hehe. "
