Simian Speed Draw #163 ~The Leprechaun's Plight
1LADY TATANYA
The Leprechaun's Plight
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spurned by the grace of Gods, with venomous disdain towards the carefree wielders of magic doth her cup runneth over.
In 'guise of benevolence, she shrives clean hearts of the wishful yet insecure, robbing them of their dreams and devours their desire-- leaving them naught but wilted husks which know neither sentience nor sapience. There are few creatures so terrifying.
O' divine beings, why hath thee forsaken us to be among the victims of this monstrous fae?

Happy Pride Month, I did actually get this art done before it ended, but the video is another story due to complications on youtube's end.
So I hear you asking... Remi, why are you drawing this obscure as fuck OC which
1. isn't in any of your games (yet) and
2. looks like Fyori went through her hippy phase. (It's funny because earlier versions of Fyori did have a similar dress before she got her pink-purple and veridian green aesthetic she'd had since.)
My answer? It's fucking pride month dude (or was when I drew it, Youtube takes ages to render out the live streams in a way I can download them), so of course I'm gonna draw the only character in my games with an aesthetic and lore based entirely around rainbows. Tatanya is also generally more into females. In regards to game, she will 'encounter' Fyori in Flight, but uh... it doesn't go down great for either of them. Fyori is a magic creature, and Tatanya likes to eat magic.
Yes, I could have drawn say Grace and Nankaina since that ship is basically canon and Nankaina's icon is literally the lesbianism symbol, but hear me out! The reason I didn't go through with that very fun idea is because...
I just honestly didn't fucking think of it?? Lmaoooo! It is only in hindsight that such clarity has been given. I also happened to have done this sketch of Tatanya a while ago and intended to make it into a full blown render at some point anyway!
Yes, there's the low-hanging easy fruit of Esperia and Fyori, but I already did that for valentines month.
The drawing in total took 8 Hours. Half an hour on the pencil sketch I used as the basic guide, then 7 and a half hours that you see here.
I really am pleased with how it came out, I was worried the color was going to be too stimulating and over the top, but I clutched it with my years of pracitising color theory and fixing that vehemently bleedy yellow-green that was on her dress initially.

Voice acting is by me, just playing my gritty male narrator tone and hoping no one notices how high pitched it is! Like the older sounding voice in the Speed Draw video for Overture of Mercy, it is not the voice of the character being drawn. This is given away by the fact Tatanya is referred to by third person means, while Star Angel Angelica is likely hearing some kind of prayer from a zealot of Galvana, the context very much implies as much.
