"Safiya El-Shaban" Some art of my friend @sajuca.bsky.social 's character from their upcoming fantasy The Spellbound Series. This was a lot of fun to do, I hope you like it as well and be sure to follow Sara for updates on their future work! #Art #DigitalArt #Fantasy

A mysterious young woman stands in what looks like a well kept and fancy study. The woman has dark brown hair that fades into a lighter blonde. Her face is framed by a pair of smart reading glasses, with brown skin and glowing eyers resting underneath it. She wears a stylish outfit that consists of a black jumpsuit with gold highlights, an orange shawl with a floral patter and high heel boots with a gold toe tip. She carries a book in hand, magical energy seeming to emit from it.

Behind her is a well kept and study bookshelf, it's warm wood tones accentuated by gold paneling and a number of books sitting on it. The floor is a classic white marble with gold accents and red tiles sitting within the gold.

My entry into #sajuca8kdtiys of Amelia by @sajuca.bsky.social While the announcement showed Amelia as a serene student, the artist later posted art of her with a strange amulet. I wanted to try making an alt version, though I'm sure this comes off as more of a light/dark binary than intended.

Sajuca ❖ fantasy artist & writer @sajuca.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Oh my gosh I love this!! You captured her duality so well 🥹 She starts as a regular student but then discovered strange powers… It's so cool seeing her in your style, and the different colour schemes and symbolism! Thank you so much for drawing her 🖤✨🫶

Sajuca ❖ fantasy artist & writer @sajuca.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Thanks Hari!! 🥹✨ I'm so glad you like the book design too, I wanted it to feel sort of vintage with the brown and gold 😄

Sajuca ❖ fantasy artist & writer @sajuca.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Thanks! 😊 And true, I guess that's just because it's made for a Kickstarter campaign (where it will have that in the title or tagline).
