Description
The keen-eyed will notice that this is not exactly the image that you see on the Magic card. It's not uncommon for me to have a couple different versions of published artwork. In this case, I went a bit "off-concept" from what the Djinn of the Jeskai Clan are supposed to look like. Mostly with the horns, and being a little less androgynous than called for. But I loves me a lady with horns. I'm not sure how they could have figured they'd give me one to paint and expect me to be normal about it.
Fun fact, her staves are carved from the rare, towering hardwood cinnamon trees. So when she beats faces, the battlefield smells like snickerdoodles.

Shot on location in the frozen shard-wastes of my freezer. I think those used to be chicken breasts and broccoli. In the time before time. In the never-never-going-to-actually-eat-this.

had this been the actual version I probably would have bought two playsets just because I love the horns in this one and the detail on the staves. The actual version has them in a blur so there is an indication of the 'whirlwind' to draw from, but I love the detail of the snickerdoodle beat sticks :3

It's a very cool piece all the same. That fabric is really amazing, the subtleties on it's skirt look almost iridescent.
