This is an entry for 's contest.

In the contest you look through the list of magical girl names, pick one, then pick one of her four characters to transform into your rendition of that magical girl name. Plus you get complete creative freedom with your entry just as long as it looks like the character you picked in some way. How cool is that?!

The character I picked to transform into Alien Conjuress Angel was Guava simply because I wanted to do a picture that was dark and unknown yet beautiful and holy at the same time. Guava seems to have some self-esteem issues with her appearance since she has to wear an eye patch over one eye -if it's a bum eye or not is unknown to me. The only time she feels confident about herself is when she's in her magical girl form, overly confident in a sexy way in fact!

Anyway, I thought it would be interesting to transfer the feelings Guava has on the inside as a normal human into the outer appearance of this magical girl.

So what kind of magical girl is Alien Conjuress Angel?

Well I imagine she'd be one of those arcane chaotic neutral magical girls that all the other magical girls go to for help, but the only answers she gives are in the form of depressing riddles. So in the end Alien Conjuress Angel would have to show up to help save the day in all her super celestial might because nobody was smart enough to figure out the answer to the riddles.

Oh yeah, and she conjures aliens from that glowing hole in her chest; it's the only way to travel.

I really wanted to branch out from my usual style with this picture; I actually have a number of pictures that look surreal like this, but I've been too chicken to post them here on DA. So I guess this is a "coming out" picture? Or maybe "testing the waters for sharks" picture.... I dunno!

Aside from all that deep crap I mentioned before a number of other things inspired me, including the song Wandering Star by Portishead and The Cthulhu Mythos by H. P. Lovecraft. In fact the script on this piece is a fan inspired version of Cthulhu runes and the text translates to the title and chorus of the song.

So yeah, I had a lot of fun with all the glowy stuff, and star stuff, and the three eyed squid stuff, and the dark creepy stuff. I've very happy with the finished piece.

Wandering Star

Please could you stay awhile to share my grief
For it's such a lovely day
To have to always feel this way
And the time that I will suffer less
Is when I never have to wake

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever

... Those who have seen the needles eye, now tread
Like a husk, from which all that was, now has fled
And the masks, that the monsters wear
To feed, upon their prey

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever

(Always) doubled up inside
Take awhile to shed my grief
(Always) doubled up inside
Taunted, cruel.... ...

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
