This detailed dark fantasy digital artwork features a powerful modern magical woman, with flowing voluminous black hair, a purple brocade corset, sheer blouse, and denim jeans, with a tabby cat familiar perched on her shoulder. A shimmering black oriental dragon and swirling glowing cyan arcane magic circles surround her, set against a richly detailed gothic urban skyline, framed with intricate decorative filigree borders. The moody enchanted color palette of inky black, warm gold, bright magic glow, and plum purple creates a mystical, empowered urban fantasy aesthetic.

Entry in the Magical Animal Familiars theme on BudgetPixel.

Urban witch with her familiars Magical Animal Familiars theme closes in 3 days. So if you've been saving your witchy pals, throw them in now. Done with Muse. I'm falling in love with the way Muse does hair. So cool.

Yay! That was easy to learn. I extended it by 1 day. Is that enough? When it's done, I could do something similar if you want like "magical animal friends"? It'd be different than familiars but close

CaylaCatz

they have a cat breed called "Dragon Li" so I put it in and got the cat. Cool, right? They have that striped pattern
