For me, the prompt made me think of the opening song of the old anime series Record of Lodoss War, Kiseki no Umi (Sea of Miracles): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDfyEOR6fAI
There’s an invocation of the wind in it: “Kaze yo watashi wa tachimukau”, which means, if I’m not mistaken, “Wind, I will face you!”
Unless I change my mind, I’ll probably end up doing a fan-art of Deedlit with her cape and hair in the wind!
Hahaha! You’re so right, this opening is actually the best part of the series!
However, the 13 episodes OVA series that came before is actually good! It’s essentially the same story but without all the , the filler episodes and the duplicate characters that they introduded in the Heroic Knight version… Straight to the main quest!
The first idea that popped with the prompt was that of a hat who get nearly away beacause of the wind, funnily I did nearly lost my hat to the wind some day later.
Well at that time I wasn’t in the mood to draw a portrait and a straw hat (or a crinoline), so I did something else. But now the former come back with a younger version of one of my character (aphrodite is a nickname 'cause she make and sell a lot of love potion), the hat… let’s say the wind stole it. Not much more to it.
I hope I can finish this second participation in time.
