They soft rebooted the Winx. The Winx were early 20’s but then bam! Season 5/6, they are back as students in Alfea and looking younger. No longer 20 but 16 again. They did this because the later seasons are more focused on a younger audience, rather than growing with the original audience, hence the winx being younger to suit the new intended audience. One of the reasons for the new audience being younger was so they could sell more toys. Corporate greed screwed over the Winx as well as basically everything else that could go wrong. The Unicorn of War/Thomas Vaccaro has a video on how Nickelodeon nearly destroyed the winx club.
@@janusnightshade9848 I get they wanted to reach a younger audience,but why couldn't they just have hard reboot the series? WC was meant to end after S3 and the SoLK movie so they could've just ended it there and then do a hard reboot of the show with it's own continuity. That way,Rainbow could've gotten a kiddie version of WC for the younger crowd and it respects the characters by not regressing them. Or,and this is the one I like more,what about having a show that focused on next generation of Alfea students?After S3,it's not surprising that Alfea students would admire the WC and want to follow in their footsteps. It would be an entirely new cast for a new audience. They could easily slip in appearances from the previous cast when it fits if they wanted to.
They’re like 26 or something by season 8, they graduated like five years ago, but they look ten and are back in school. Makes zero sense. Like, I asked my sister how old Sky looked in a screenshot, didn’t give her context, and she said 10. Like, the idea of them going to space is cool and all, but the show doesn’t really make sense anymore.
@@infinitedreamer9359 yeah if you're rebooting a show You either continue the series and also acknowledge what happened before Or restart But nick failed at both fo those
Generally it would make sense to have characters actually appear as the age they are claimed to be. But in this case, they ARE fairies. Fairies are not exactly known for having short lifespans. Often described in various myths/fictions as having youthful appearances or otherwise a shapeshifting capacity in order to lure unsuspecting people - same to the reason of their supposed "ethereal beauty". So it actually makes sense that the Winx characters being fairies and all, would retain their youthful appearances. Probably for another couple of centuries or so even before they start looking like say the King or Queen.
When you mentioned basing their forms on greek nymph's my mind went to Daphne and her title "Nymph of Magix"/"Nymph of Domino" so maybe this form is The Winx achieving their status as "Nymphs of [Insert Planet/Realm]"
This look is so gorgeous! Part of me always wanted Stella to have a "moon form" that emphasized blue, white, and silver in reference to her mom, and now I feel like that'd look great in your art style.
Right! I mean I grew up with the Nick Dub and they always said she was The fairy of the shining sun. It didn't bother me, at first- now that I know the whole background of Stella and especially her parents (mostly her mom) I've grown to know Stella the fairy of the Sun AND Moon ☀️🌙 or if it's too long The fairy of the Stars ✨
@@Little_Duckling18 I grew up with the 4kids dub myself (to this DAY I say it has the best VAs, but you attack the writing and story changes all you want, lol), and I wish that was referenced more. Plus I wish the Rai dub stating Tecna was an android was canon for the main universe.
There’s a spinoff show on Netflix called world of winx and season two actually gives Stella a BLUE fairy form and it’s gorgeous. I actually highly recommend the show for something you can turn your brain off to but still enjoy
I could not agree more with the feelings you have about the Netflix live action, it is an absolute TRAIN WRECK! They made Stella so mean and shallow and took away Brandon like what the heck?! I could only make it through the first two episodes before I just couldn’t watch anymore. 🤦♀️
I always thought that Stella would make an awsome queen. She is caring and kind, doesn't hesitate to put her life on stake to protect her loved ones and still she is sassy enough to put everyone in line who tries to test her. I love that your design captures that
The Netflix adaptation is definitely a case of "Adults don't like bright and colorful, girly visuals". That we see through a lot of adult animation and live action adaptations. They always seem to think they need to make everything dark and edgy for adults to enjoy it. I would have loved to see a Winx adaptation with darker story elements, but maintaining the bright and colorful designs. Having that kind of contrast between the story and the setting can create a really cool vibe. Where everything seems bright and happy on the surface but is hiding a darkness underneath. It's a great visual storytelling tool and it's dissapointing that they didn't take advantage of it
I absolutely love this. Imagining the pocket dimensions brings me so much joy. Like Blooms could be a verdant and bright field filled with life, but with rivers of lava were dangerous monsters reside, living in harmony with the peaceful animals. Stella's could be a regal looking kingdom built with golden and silver light within the vastness of a star filled and colorful space.
What really exemplifies how the original design really didn’t fully portray Stella’s role was in how you said she was the fairy of sun AND moon and I was like: “wait, and MOON??? All I see is sun!” because her design, as you said, lacked any details relating to the moon. At least with that one character from LoliRock, even if her colours were predominantly yellow and orange, her only shape symbolism was the moon and such a colour can be interpreted with it (for example with emojis 🌙). But Stella? I can’t think of anything about her that screams “MOON”, not even pretending her hair is shaped into crescent moons like the girl from LoliRock is enough. TL:DR love your work, can’t wait for the others 🤩
I know almost nothing about Winx Club, so I don't know if something similar already exists, but my first thought was that if you are basing their designs on Greek nymphs, then maybe you can lean more into that for the name. The Amazons immediately came to my mind, but you could also go more directly with the nymphs, since there are literally hundreds of them in Greek mythology all coming from different domains. And since this video is about Stella specifically, the Pleiades were a group of nymphs that were friends with Artemis, that were immortalized in the stars by Zeus. To make a story short the giant Orion wouldn't stop harassing them and after Artemis asks Zeus to do something about it, he turns the Pleiades into stars so that Orion can't get to them. Peeved that she can't see her friends anymore, Artemis has her brother Apollo kill Orion with with a giant scorpion. After Orion is dead, Zeus turns him into a constellation so he can continue chasing the Pleiades (because Zeus is an asshole) as well as the scorpion so it can chase Orion across the sky. Conceptually, you could have Stella have star based attacks and abilities based around this myth, to represent her stars theme. Side note: There are a bunch of different versions about how Orion becomes a constellation, but this is the one that includes the Pleiades.
the one I know of is that Orion and Artemis had a fling with each slash in love in jealousy rage her turd of a brother gets him killed by tricking her to do it in her grief he became a constellation i believe that how the one i know goes its been awhile since I read the myth of that version of the story
@@stormtellier3804 Well, yes and no. The idea that Artemis and Orion were a couple is something that Renaissance artists, poets, writers, etc came up with, because they couldn't fathom a reason as to why a man and a woman would hang out without also being in love with each other. In the actual mythos Artemis and Orion are just friends because they are both hunters. Am familiar with the version you are describing. It goes that Apollo is worried that Orion will seduce Artemis. In an attempt to prevent that from happening, Apollo challenges Artemis to hit a tiny dot in the horizon, which she does and it turns it is Orion. She rages on her brother a little bit and she immortalizes Orion in the stars. But like I said there are SO many different versions about how Orion dies. There is one where Gaia does, there are some where Artemis herself does it, without Apollo's help, all under different circumstances.
@@MiniCountessIsme thanks for the info yeah that's the one story I heard I love Greek mythology or mythology in general and subscribed to a few RUclipsrs that do mythology videos cause I want to learn more about it it seems they do their research really thoroughly
I think astrology predictions fits her really well. It could also be a conflict like in Kungfu panda where she tries to avoid certain events only to bring that events because she tries to avoid them. Another conflict that I can think of is that she slowly develop anxiety and avoiding others because no one believe her or think she brings misfortunes. BTW I love your art >
This form and its abilities remembers me of something like dreamland/mindscape. The idea that inside your mind you have your own world, your own dimension that changes as you change, like a lucid dream but with nothing holding you back, only yourself.
Love your Callimarix (Name-in-progress) Stella!!!🧡🧡🧡 I got excited when you talked about the connection of Stella's powers and fortune-telling, especially the love fortune aspect and how interested she's into those topics For the top-tier fairy title, maybe you could try playing with words associated with goddesses (since from what I can tell, all the girls will look like these powerful goddess-like beings that will be honored dearly by the whole universe/s!) like 'Demix' ( the prefix for god or goddess 'DEMI' + *Winx ) I don't know if your fanart universe for Callimarix will allow words containing bad meanings, especially towards the main girls because when I was searching for a good name for the legend tier fairy form, I accidentally found out that ' mix with an 'n' as the third letter ' means a 'unique' kind of woman.... ...but I think adding it into 'Demix' will be really ironic since this legendary tier has the fairy forms being inspired by greek goddesses and the 'uniqueness' from that *word is often exhibited by Greek gods, especially Zeus, the 'unique' one of them all 😂 Whether you use it or not, I really adore your project of giving the Winx Club girls justice with blessing them these goddess tier fairy forms and I wish you luck for the upcoming girls (and characters from other series) you're going to tackle after this!!! (...sorry for the long comment😅... BTW, take care of yourself and rehydrated often!!!)
My bad art habit is quitting. I have so many ideas of what I want my characters to look like, but I hate how I draw, I feel like I'm never good enough, and I'm never going to get good enough. I've practiced and studied on my own, but I'm still struggling. Just practicing doesn't seem to work for me, and I feel like there's something wrong with me because I can't seem to just get better from practice, like everyone giving me the advice did.
Sorry if this advice is unwanted but there is a lot you could do to work on your art. For your quitting habit though, I heard keeping sketchbooks are good so you see if you're improving and if you arent, then it gives you a way to study your art style and find out what types of mistakes you are doing in your artwork. For getting better, there are channels like Proko that help and I especially recommend looking up art fundamentals, particularly construction. It breaks down things into shapes. In addition, I highly recommend tutorials to study how people draw. Sometimes, the way we start a drawing can be limiting our growth, like starting with values instead of a sketch. Are you practicing realism during those practices? That can help too. Sorry if I repeat a few things!
I've watching redesign characters from alot of different artists and Callimara is the only one who actually redesign the character so far Some artist I watched usually changed the character's design alot, not to mention that they always blackwashing the character for the 'cherry on top' I luv ur redesign and rewrite videos!❤
I loved Winx club as a kid even now I’ll watch it for fun…but it hurts when I see how it ended up but the OG run was so freaking good idk about y’all but the Enchantix was my favorite stage for the girls
what you said about Stella being a better Chloe is so true, even her parents are divorced like Chloe's, even though Chloe's parents just hate each other. I think Astruc has an issue with good characters like Stella, who are rich, famous and have divorced parents, but Iginio Straffi isn't even close to Thomas. I believe he's a really nice person, unlike Astruc who thinks rich=evil.
I honestly think it would have been so cool if they had pulled more from (in this case) greek mythology, and made the fairies of the sun and the moon different people. not necessarily twins like Apollo and Artemis are, but they could have been mirror images in a sense, and two sides of the same coin could have made an entire story arc about them realizing they aren't opposites and don't need to be rivals, just because they both are fairies of important celestial bodies edit: if they were twins and both heirs to their kingdom, that could be a big part of their rivalry. Stella's arc could be similar to what it is now, acting more spoiled and prideful at the start. Maybe it could even be because of what she thinks a queen has to be: powerful and distant. Her sister, on the other hand, might think a queen's subjects are everything, acting as a bit of a pushover at first and always putting her own needs last. they would have to learn that they are at their best when they work together. in this version, Stella's sibling would probably have been the one to help her when she was turned into a monster edit2: their arc could also be part of their designs in a big way, shifting from very clear and standalone sun and moon designs to more dusk and dawn inspired designs as they grow closer
I didn't think that pink would work with the rest of the palette and somehow you've made it work. I love your art and the design for Stella focusing more on the moon aspect that waned off as the series progress. I've stopped watching your content for awhile and am catching up with all the videos and I've got to say, I love the new stills too. They feel a lot more expressive and the design feels a lot more complex. :D (Also, side note, the pocket dimension lowkey sounds like Mordenkeinan's Magnificent Mansion and it's great)
If you're still looking for a name I thought of one that ya might like Going off of the names of the first forms Charmix and Enchantix I felt a name that acted as a kind of spiritual successor to those since I'm assuming this form is the direct follow up to Enchantix The names I thought of were either Astonix (for Astonishing), Divinix (for how divine the girls look in the form) or Beyondix (since this power goes beyond the final fairy form to ascend to a new level of greatness) I thought these names names would work really well since for the most part they still fit into the same naming category as the first 2 forms If ya like any of the names feel free to use em, LOVE the 2 designs you've done so far btw!!! ❤✨
I love her design; she looks like a Sun and Moon goddess with this design. I love the golden bracelets, her golden tiara representing all the lunar cycles, her hair is simple yet gorgeous and elegant, and all the colours are lovely. Also loved how you gave her a pale shade of blonde than her normal shade to avoid clashing with her orange / blue / yellow colour palette and how the design is Greek-inspired (since Solaria is heavily Greek / Roman inspired). I agree with you in the sense that despite her privileged background and status, Stella isn’t your typical rich brat or mean girl, but someone who wants to stand out on her own and wants to make a difference for herself. Even though she can be bossy and boastful, she cares for her loved ones and will always protect them no matter what. Deep down, she can be compassionate and emotional (I heard from another video that her moon magic manifests in the shape of mirrors) because the moon reflects the sun’s light and is redirected to the Earth. Plus, Stella used her lunar powers twice on two fairy forms: her Charmix booster (S2) and Harmonix. Also, loved the fact that you didn’t change her character arc at all. Still, I loved how you incorporated astrology as part of her powers in your headcanon, as the sun, the moon, and the stars are essential aspects of astrology. Maybe Stella likes to use it to see her relationship with others (especially Brandon). P.S.A. - I can’t wait to see Flora and what design you’re going to give her. If you wonder why Stella has pink accents on her color palette? I think they symbolise sunrises given that the sunlight has a long distance to travel through the sky before reaching Earth.
Always love watching your videos and this one is no exception!! Might go back and watch Blooms video just cause XD Your art is always so beautiful, it never fails to put a smile on my face ^^
I love the wings!! The orange and pink look so good, and the little blue at the end makes me think of an oncoming dusk(or chasing the night away). And you were right, the laurel of moon phases just works(I imagine the new moon being at the back as a sort of hair clip) One thing I feel the need to comment on is the shape of the wing itself. Again, there's nothing wrong with them. Just that, from the sketch, it looked to me like the sun part was actually more like an edge than part of the design. Which I think could have done 2 things: 1. Drawn attention to the rest of the wing. Particularly, the "radiating from a central point" aspect of it. I think they were contrasting against the negative space of the "cut" centre 2. Give them an angelic look. I was imagining the wings curving slightly inward before extending, kind of like bird wings. Which combined with her theme of celestial bodies, would have an added angelic motif to the design, like a "messenger of the heavens"
Since the transformaton is based on nymphs, it could be called just nymphix... Or musix. It could be for story based around muses and art and give Musa time to shine. I am not sure though how it wouldatch the rest of your lore... Maybe the great, remembered for ever deeds would be worth of poems (in relation to Kaliope) and remembered in history (in relation to... Well, the Muse of history whose name I forgot). And the pocket dimensions would be realms of every girl imagination coming true
I love ur redesign vids. It helps me gain more insights on the process in creating character designs. Plus, ur voice is so soothing to hear For me, a glaring bad art habit is dropping an art piece the moment it does not fit the vision i want and procrastinating on a piece. My perfectionism has been a major hindrance on developing ny art. I got the schedule n planning right but i tend to drop projects cause i notice sm flaws
Hey there Callimara, I have watched your Winx Club video dealing with Bloom and seeing this new video dealing with Stella. I have to admit that Stella is not my favorite character in the Winx Club series, but I must admit that your design for Stella was jaw droppingly stunning and gorgeous. You really did an amazing job and brought out some wonderful bring the moon attributes and other elements out in this artwork. I also enjoyed the color schemes that you used in the video and how you talked about Stella reminding you of Chole from Miraculous and Mandy from Totally Spies. Anyways thank you so much for this video. I must say that you are a wonderful and talented person, who has a beautiful and fantastic art style.
Hold up! Forget the lovely art for a second! Cali I am so proud of you for doing a tasting of the tea and cookies with any of your body in the review. That’s a huge step for you and you’ve mentioned in the discord how you’re nervous about face revealing so I’m so proud of you for this ❤
I have some ideas for what you could call the form but some of them are real bad! - Callix or Marix (instead of your full Callimarix) - Realmix (realm as in the realms they save and the pocket realm/dimension) - Dimenix or Dimensix (dimension) - Domainix (domain) - Rulix (like ruling over their dimensions) - Fairix, Faerix or Faeix (like fairyland or just faires and fae) - Oasix (oasis cause its kinda like a fancy pond) - Spirix (spirit) - Magestix (magesty/magestic) - Nymphix (nymph) - Draconix (dragon/draconic) - Epix (like an epic in a story sense) - Heroix (hero/heroic) - Magix (magic and the name of the realm) - Celestix (celestial) - Akashix (akashic records) - Deix? (like something to do with deities or gods) - Divix or Divinix (divine) - Storix (story) - Historix (history) - Archaix (archaic) - Legix, Legendix or Legendarix (legend) - Talix (tales) - Achievix (achieve)
She is GORGEOUS!🥰🥳🎆🎇💗💕 Love her! I have to ask once you are done with the Winx will you redesign the villains too!? I feel they need some better forms too. My favorite villain being Valtor. I feel like they could have done better with him and have him maybe after breaking The Ancestresses control get some redemption,like Zuko! His connection with Bloom and him being her dark twin flame wasn't used to its full potential. I kinda shipped them too cause I felt like they had that chemistry and their magical connection and two sides of the same coin is a trope I love. I also never liked Sky and kinda holded a grudge for lieing about who he really was in the beggining and making Brandon lie too and cheating on his fiance.😬 Yeah,he never really apologised and had Diaspro turn into Bloom archenemy. And he was boring with no chemistry with Bloom.😩😫 I hope the Guys get some power up cause in later seasons they kinda turn useless. And It seemed unfair for just the girls to be powerful. And I guess knowing more about the Magical Dimension would be nice.
When you get to Techna you could get inspiration from Hera the godess of wisdom. It would be neat of you could also somehow add in owl inspiration too since the are the go to knowledge related animals.
You Mention that Stella is into astrology and stuff and now I want an episode of the girls having a sleepover. Stella is a sleepover buff and it starts off stereotypical girly things like makeovers, spin the bottle, smores, pillow fights ect But then Stella busts out her fortune telling stuff and the mood gets a little eerie. She says this will make their bond stronger and they all do those 'witchcraft' games girls do at sleepovers like, stiff as a board light as a feather, tarot card readings, tell ghost stories, maybe try and communicate with ghosts or the fairy equivalent I just think it'd be really cute if this is the kind of niche stuff Stella is really into and she only shares with her friends because she's opening up to them and showing her unique interests
i really adore this transformation and really look forward to seeing the other winx +i had some transformation ideas and some that fit this one the best could be majestix, symphonix and infinitix
Until I saw this, I was Never aware Stella was also suppose to have a connection with the Moon too. Yes I watched Winx Club too because I was confident it wouldn't be too girly with the Knights, forgot what they're called, looking badass and having importance, even if given small roles.
callimera i love your videos so much i think i could hear you talk about anything. I like that you look at these childhood shows with an analytic lens i'd like to suggest that you take a look at sugar sugar rune (maybe you watched it too) it's a magical girl show that focuses on two best friends who have to compete against each other for the title of queen of the world of magic. and at the same time they have to blend in the human world and conquer human hearts to gain points in the race to the throne but they can't give their hearts away ever. the relationships between those two girls is so interesting and they have a great progression through the show, and they are basically opposites and the perfect representation of opposites attract. even they're names are perfect opposites and complements chocolat and vanilla
I do wish the show had Stella use magic connected to the moon. Since she is the princess/fairy of sun AND moon. I only remember her using sun magic and in season 2 she got sick in caves because moon magic if I remember correctly.
Stella was my absolute favorite character, to me she was really charming. While I didn't like her selfish moments, her development made me really look up to her. After growing up and watching the early seasons again I started to deeply appreciate Winx's writing. So imagine my disappointment when the Fate reboot made her a mean, bully rich girl with little depth... Granted that can change with time, but I doubt a season 2 will be made at all
I think the Winx Club members maybe should have a corresponding organ. With Stella, it's the eyes. I also think she should be associated with clearvoyence.

I am a weird guy; queer, autistic and a nerd in general, at that time I loved stuff like yandere simulator and especially the occult, and with a friend we wanted to create a sort of occult club (we never did, we didn't do anything related to that too) and all, one thing about me is that I never really chose my fashion, especially at that time
I remember her telling me that at first, because I'm blonde and the first day I wore a dress (you know how parents are about your clothes the first day at a new school), that she thought I was like the other girls, specifically that I was the superficial type like X
X was not that superficial, she actually had a lot of zits because of hormone or a illness (I never asked) but happened to be naturally very pretty and liked fashion a little, but even then she wasn't superficial and was actually very nice and studious with parents (particularly a dad) with high academic demands
But yeah that girl had a racist brother and through the year it really started to shape how she acted toward X who was arabic (probably mixed since she had naturally dark blonde hair)

I would like to say that without Bloom and Stella meeting, the Winx Club would've NEVER existed! Can you imagine that? I sure can't!
The name of the transformation could be Legenix or Divinix
Divinix sounds so good I like it :D
I also really like Divinix- it rolls off the tongue :D
Thirded for Divinix
Just like everyone else said Divinix, in my opinion it's perfect for the fairy form as deities are divine
Fifth vote for Divinix
I'm guessing it's pronounced Dee-vine-ix

Like Blooms could be a verdant and bright field filled with life, but with rivers of lava were dangerous monsters reside, living in harmony with the peaceful animals.
Stella's could be a regal looking kingdom built with golden and silver light within the vastness of a star filled and colorful space.
What really exemplifies how the original design really didn’t fully portray Stella’s role was in how you said she was the fairy of sun AND moon and I was like: “wait, and MOON??? All I see is sun!” because her design, as you said, lacked any details relating to the moon.
At least with that one character from LoliRock, even if her colours were predominantly yellow and orange, her only shape symbolism was the moon and such a colour can be interpreted with it (for example with emojis 🌙). But Stella? I can’t think of anything about her that screams “MOON”, not even pretending her hair is shaped into crescent moons like the girl from LoliRock is enough.
TL:DR love your work, can’t wait for the others 🤩
I know almost nothing about Winx Club, so I don't know if something similar already exists, but my first thought was that if you are basing their designs on Greek nymphs, then maybe you can lean more into that for the name. The Amazons immediately came to my mind, but you could also go more directly with the nymphs, since there are literally hundreds of them in Greek mythology all coming from different domains.
And since this video is about Stella specifically, the Pleiades were a group of nymphs that were friends with Artemis, that were immortalized in the stars by Zeus.
To make a story short the giant Orion wouldn't stop harassing them and after Artemis asks Zeus to do something about it, he turns the Pleiades into stars so that Orion can't get to them. Peeved that she can't see her friends anymore, Artemis has her brother Apollo kill Orion with with a giant scorpion. After Orion is dead, Zeus turns him into a constellation so he can continue chasing the Pleiades (because Zeus is an asshole) as well as the scorpion so it can chase Orion across the sky.
Conceptually, you could have Stella have star based attacks and abilities based around this myth, to represent her stars theme.
Side note: There are a bunch of different versions about how Orion becomes a constellation, but this is the one that includes the Pleiades.
the one I know of is that Orion and Artemis had a fling with each slash in love in jealousy rage her turd of a brother gets him killed by tricking her to do it in her grief he became a constellation i believe that how the one i know goes its been awhile since I read the myth of that version of the story
@@stormtellier3804 Well, yes and no. The idea that Artemis and Orion were a couple is something that Renaissance artists, poets, writers, etc came up with, because they couldn't fathom a reason as to why a man and a woman would hang out without also being in love with each other.
In the actual mythos Artemis and Orion are just friends because they are both hunters.
Am familiar with the version you are describing. It goes that Apollo is worried that Orion will seduce Artemis. In an attempt to prevent that from happening, Apollo challenges Artemis to hit a tiny dot in the horizon, which she does and it turns it is Orion. She rages on her brother a little bit and she immortalizes Orion in the stars.
But like I said there are SO many different versions about how Orion dies. There is one where Gaia does, there are some where Artemis herself does it, without Apollo's help, all under different circumstances.
@@MiniCountessIsme thanks for the info yeah that's the one story I heard I love Greek mythology or mythology in general and subscribed to a few RUclipsrs that do mythology videos cause I want to learn more about it it seems they do their research really thoroughly
Apparently, we getting a remake but animated this time let's pray it's better than wonx saga
*winx saga
i fucking love callimara's designs!!! they make colours that directly clash look gorgeous together :3
I think astrology predictions fits her really well. It could also be a conflict like in Kungfu panda where she tries to avoid certain events only to bring that events because she tries to avoid them. Another conflict that I can think of is that she slowly develop anxiety and avoiding others because no one believe her or think she brings misfortunes. BTW I love your art >
This form and its abilities remembers me of something like dreamland/mindscape.
The idea that inside your mind you have your own world, your own dimension that changes as you change, like a lucid dream but with nothing holding you back, only yourself.
Why did it take me this long to realize her hair looks like a butterfly octopus?
Through back to our childhood ❤ Also this reminds me of her prom dress from season 1(I mean the dress with the mystery eggs, you know the one, I hope)
omg yes that dress was epic af
I don't remember the dress but I definitely remember the episode, Bloom told them trixx off 👌🏼😋
I LOVED THAT DRESS
You and Thomas Vaccaro (Unicorn of War) really opened my Winx Club brain again, I really appreciate it
Amen
1)Beautiful design, especially the wings (I love the sun-moon theme)
2)Will we see videos about the boys from your Wild Ward in the near future?
In the name of the STELLA FANDOM I'm so happy! I love your videos, I haven't even started it but I know that this will be amazing!
how about fiabix? in Italian fiaba means fairytale could be interesting and could be a homage to its Italian heratege.
12:42 funfact in the italian dubs of winx club and miracolous, Clhoe's mom has the same voice as Stella
Love your Callimarix (Name-in-progress) Stella!!!🧡🧡🧡
I got excited when you talked about the connection of Stella's powers and fortune-telling, especially the love fortune aspect and how interested she's into those topics
For the top-tier fairy title, maybe you could try playing with words associated with goddesses (since from what I can tell, all the girls will look like these powerful goddess-like beings that will be honored dearly by the whole universe/s!) like 'Demix' ( the prefix for god or goddess 'DEMI' + *Winx )
I don't know if your fanart universe for Callimarix will allow words containing bad meanings, especially towards the main girls because when I was searching for a good name for the legend tier fairy form, I accidentally found out that ' mix with an 'n' as the third letter ' means a 'unique' kind of woman....
...but I think adding it into 'Demix' will be really ironic since this legendary tier has the fairy forms being inspired by greek goddesses and the 'uniqueness' from that *word is often exhibited by Greek gods, especially Zeus, the 'unique' one of them all 😂
Whether you use it or not, I really adore your project of giving the Winx Club girls justice with blessing them these goddess tier fairy forms and I wish you luck for the upcoming girls (and characters from other series) you're going to tackle after this!!!
(...sorry for the long comment😅... BTW, take care of yourself and rehydrated often!!!)
Yes!!! More winx content!!! I'm very curious to see your interpretation of Tecna.
My bad art habit is quitting. I have so many ideas of what I want my characters to look like, but I hate how I draw, I feel like I'm never good enough, and I'm never going to get good enough. I've practiced and studied on my own, but I'm still struggling. Just practicing doesn't seem to work for me, and I feel like there's something wrong with me because I can't seem to just get better from practice, like everyone giving me the advice did.
Sorry if this advice is unwanted but there is a lot you could do to work on your art. For your quitting habit though, I heard keeping sketchbooks are good so you see if you're improving and if you arent, then it gives you a way to study your art style and find out what types of mistakes you are doing in your artwork. For getting better, there are channels like Proko that help and I especially recommend looking up art fundamentals, particularly construction. It breaks down things into shapes. In addition, I highly recommend tutorials to study how people draw. Sometimes, the way we start a drawing can be limiting our growth, like starting with values instead of a sketch. Are you practicing realism during those practices? That can help too. Sorry if I repeat a few things!
@@galaxygato9642 thank you for the advice! I appreciate it 🙏
YES WINX!♥️
I've watching redesign characters from alot of different artists and Callimara is the only one who actually redesign the character so far
Some artist I watched usually changed the character's design alot, not to mention that they always blackwashing the character for the 'cherry on top'
I luv ur redesign and rewrite videos!❤
Off topic but I love that top you're wearing at 11:37 🤩
Thanks!
I just love Stella
I loved Winx club as a kid even now I’ll watch it for fun…but it hurts when I see how it ended up but the OG run was so freaking good idk about y’all but the Enchantix was my favorite stage for the girls
what you said about Stella being a better Chloe is so true, even her parents are divorced like Chloe's, even though Chloe's parents just hate each other. I think Astruc has an issue with good characters like Stella, who are rich, famous and have divorced parents, but Iginio Straffi isn't even close to Thomas. I believe he's a really nice person, unlike Astruc who thinks rich=evil.
Omg she’s so pretty!~ 🔥🔥🔥
I honestly think it would have been so cool if they had pulled more from (in this case) greek mythology, and made the fairies of the sun and the moon different people. not necessarily twins like Apollo and Artemis are, but they could have been mirror images in a sense, and two sides of the same coin
could have made an entire story arc about them realizing they aren't opposites and don't need to be rivals, just because they both are fairies of important celestial bodies
edit: if they were twins and both heirs to their kingdom, that could be a big part of their rivalry. Stella's arc could be similar to what it is now, acting more spoiled and prideful at the start. Maybe it could even be because of what she thinks a queen has to be: powerful and distant. Her sister, on the other hand, might think a queen's subjects are everything, acting as a bit of a pushover at first and always putting her own needs last. they would have to learn that they are at their best when they work together. in this version, Stella's sibling would probably have been the one to help her when she was turned into a monster
edit2: their arc could also be part of their designs in a big way, shifting from very clear and standalone sun and moon designs to more dusk and dawn inspired designs as they grow closer
I didn't think that pink would work with the rest of the palette and somehow you've made it work. I love your art and the design for Stella focusing more on the moon aspect that waned off as the series progress.
I've stopped watching your content for awhile and am catching up with all the videos and I've got to say, I love the new stills too. They feel a lot more expressive and the design feels a lot more complex. :D
(Also, side note, the pocket dimension lowkey sounds like Mordenkeinan's Magnificent Mansion and it's great)
Slay! Looks wonderful as usual (I saw the sneak in the discord ofc lol)
I really love these redesigns . I really think you should continue this series 😊
Finally!! I've been dying to watch this video since I saw the drawing on discord
Yay! I knew this video would come!
Stella was honestly my favourite character.
She's my favorite of the group
Yess welcome back callimara it’s good to know you aren’t dead 😊
If you're still looking for a name I thought of one that ya might like
Going off of the names of the first forms Charmix and Enchantix I felt a name that acted as a kind of spiritual successor to those since I'm assuming this form is the direct follow up to Enchantix
The names I thought of were either Astonix (for Astonishing), Divinix (for how divine the girls look in the form) or Beyondix (since this power goes beyond the final fairy form to ascend to a new level of greatness)
I thought these names names would work really well since for the most part they still fit into the same naming category as the first 2 forms
If ya like any of the names feel free to use em, LOVE the 2 designs you've done so far btw!!! ❤✨
7:51: The everything brush
Note to anyone seeing this, this is just a timestamp so I can find the page later. Ignore this.
She’s utterly gorgeous! The Greek nymph style of clothing is so beautiful and it all just comes together perfectly!
Stella approved 👍
I love her design; she looks like a Sun and Moon goddess with this design. I love the golden bracelets, her golden tiara representing all the lunar cycles, her hair is simple yet gorgeous and elegant, and all the colours are lovely. Also loved how you gave her a pale shade of blonde than her normal shade to avoid clashing with her orange / blue / yellow colour palette and how the design is Greek-inspired (since Solaria is heavily Greek / Roman inspired). I agree with you in the sense that despite her privileged background and status, Stella isn’t your typical rich brat or mean girl, but someone who wants to stand out on her own and wants to make a difference for herself.
Even though she can be bossy and boastful, she cares for her loved ones and will always protect them no matter what. Deep down, she can be compassionate and emotional (I heard from another video that her moon magic manifests in the shape of mirrors) because the moon reflects the sun’s light and is redirected to the Earth. Plus, Stella used her lunar powers twice on two fairy forms: her Charmix booster (S2) and Harmonix. Also, loved the fact that you didn’t change her character arc at all. Still, I loved how you incorporated astrology as part of her powers in your headcanon, as the sun, the moon, and the stars are essential aspects of astrology. Maybe Stella likes to use it to see her relationship with others (especially Brandon).
P.S.A. - I can’t wait to see Flora and what design you’re going to give her. If you wonder why Stella has pink accents on her color palette? I think they symbolise sunrises given that the sunlight has a long distance to travel through the sky before reaching Earth.
Need to see more Winx redesign 😍 so good to watch
YOOOO was so hyped for this! stella is my favourite winx member❤❤
Always love watching your videos and this one is no exception!! Might go back and watch Blooms video just cause XD Your art is always so beautiful, it never fails to put a smile on my face ^^
Yasssssssss the queen posted with another queen like ✨slaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy✨
I have no clue about Winx Club but hey! These designs are stunning! I'm waiting for more of them!🧚♀️🦋🌺🌸
I was waiting for the next winx redesigned
love the monica pose XD
I love the wings!! The orange and pink look so good, and the little blue at the end makes me think of an oncoming dusk(or chasing the night away). And you were right, the laurel of moon phases just works(I imagine the new moon being at the back as a sort of hair clip)
One thing I feel the need to comment on is the shape of the wing itself. Again, there's nothing wrong with them. Just that, from the sketch, it looked to me like the sun part was actually more like an edge than part of the design. Which I think could have done 2 things:
1. Drawn attention to the rest of the wing. Particularly, the "radiating from a central point" aspect of it. I think they were contrasting against the negative space of the "cut" centre
2. Give them an angelic look. I was imagining the wings curving slightly inward before extending, kind of like bird wings. Which combined with her theme of celestial bodies, would have an added angelic motif to the design, like a "messenger of the heavens"
This is very pretty I can't wait to see Muisa she was my first girl crush! 💗
Since the transformaton is based on nymphs, it could be called just nymphix... Or musix. It could be for story based around muses and art and give Musa time to shine.
I am not sure though how it wouldatch the rest of your lore... Maybe the great, remembered for ever deeds would be worth of poems (in relation to Kaliope) and remembered in history (in relation to... Well, the Muse of history whose name I forgot). And the pocket dimensions would be realms of every girl imagination coming true
Are you spying me Callimara, dear ? I was just binge-watching Winx videos :0
Maybe
I love ur redesign vids. It helps me gain more insights on the process in creating character designs. Plus, ur voice is so soothing to hear
For me, a glaring bad art habit is dropping an art piece the moment it does not fit the vision i want and procrastinating on a piece. My perfectionism has been a major hindrance on developing ny art. I got the schedule n planning right but i tend to drop projects cause i notice sm flaws
Hey there Callimara,
I have watched your Winx Club video dealing with Bloom and seeing this new video dealing with Stella. I have to admit that Stella is not my favorite character in the Winx Club series, but I must admit that your design for Stella was jaw droppingly stunning and gorgeous.
You really did an amazing job and brought out some wonderful bring the moon attributes and other elements out in this artwork. I also enjoyed the color schemes that you used in the video and how you talked about Stella reminding you of Chole from Miraculous and Mandy from Totally Spies.
Anyways thank you so much for this video. I must say that you are a wonderful and talented person, who has a beautiful and fantastic art style.
Stella was always my favorite, thank you for doing her!
My winx era has been coming back
Hold up! Forget the lovely art for a second! Cali I am so proud of you for doing a tasting of the tea and cookies with any of your body in the review. That’s a huge step for you and you’ve mentioned in the discord how you’re nervous about face revealing so I’m so proud of you for this ❤
What are Stella’s mark’s supposed to represent?? 🧡🧡🧡 love the transition you are really talented in your own right . 🩷🧡💛🩵
I have some ideas for what you could call the form but some of them are real bad!
- Callix or Marix (instead of your full Callimarix)
- Realmix (realm as in the realms they save and the pocket realm/dimension)
- Dimenix or Dimensix (dimension)
- Domainix (domain)
- Rulix (like ruling over their dimensions)
- Fairix, Faerix or Faeix (like fairyland or just faires and fae)
- Oasix (oasis cause its kinda like a fancy pond)
- Spirix (spirit)
- Magestix (magesty/magestic)
- Nymphix (nymph)
- Draconix (dragon/draconic)
- Epix (like an epic in a story sense)
- Heroix (hero/heroic)
- Magix (magic and the name of the realm)
- Celestix (celestial)
- Akashix (akashic records)
- Deix? (like something to do with deities or gods)
- Divix or Divinix (divine)
- Storix (story)
- Historix (history)
- Archaix (archaic)
- Legix, Legendix or Legendarix (legend)
- Talix (tales)
- Achievix (achieve)
She is GORGEOUS!🥰🥳🎆🎇💗💕 Love her! I have to ask once you are done with the Winx will you redesign the villains too!? I feel they need some better forms too.
My favorite villain being Valtor. I feel like they could have done better with him and have him maybe after breaking The Ancestresses control get some redemption,like Zuko! His connection with Bloom and him being her dark twin flame wasn't used to its full potential. I kinda shipped them too cause I felt like they had that chemistry and their magical connection and two sides of the same coin is a trope I love. I also never liked Sky and kinda holded a grudge for lieing about who he really was in the beggining and making Brandon lie too and cheating on his fiance.😬 Yeah,he never really apologised and had Diaspro turn into Bloom archenemy. And he was boring with no chemistry with Bloom.😩😫
I hope the Guys get some power up cause in later seasons they kinda turn useless. And It seemed unfair for just the girls to be powerful. And I guess knowing more about the Magical Dimension would be nice.
she turned out super pretty
also aw, i was liking the multiple dragon sparks version
When you get to Techna you could get inspiration from Hera the godess of wisdom. It would be neat of you could also somehow add in owl inspiration too since the are the go to knowledge related animals.
Beautiful.💖
Do you think you can do the other Winx Club members?
You Mention that Stella is into astrology and stuff and now I want an episode of the girls having a sleepover.
Stella is a sleepover buff and it starts off stereotypical girly things like makeovers, spin the bottle, smores, pillow fights ect
But then Stella busts out her fortune telling stuff and the mood gets a little eerie.
She says this will make their bond stronger and they all do those 'witchcraft' games girls do at sleepovers like, stiff as a board light as a feather, tarot card readings, tell ghost stories, maybe try and communicate with ghosts or the fairy equivalent
I just think it'd be really cute if this is the kind of niche stuff Stella is really into and she only shares with her friends because she's opening up to them and showing her unique interests
This Sun isn’t a star. It’s OUR star. Massive difference
0MG i don't usually comment but I loe the way you shaded / rendered (whatever you call it) her hair!!!
I am loving this redesign.
I do adore all of this. Can't wait for you to give the boys personality too
Waaaaaaah so BEAUTIFUL
i really adore this transformation and really look forward to seeing the other winx
+i had some transformation ideas and some that fit this one the best could be majestix, symphonix and infinitix
Love the new background 😍😍😍
Cool ! She reminds me of hemera goddess of day from Greek myth
Until I saw this, I was Never aware Stella was also suppose to have a connection with the Moon too.
Yes I watched Winx Club too because I was confident it wouldn't be too girly with the Knights, forgot what they're called, looking badass and having importance, even if given small roles.
shes so cute!!!!
Are you going to continue this series?
Your so close to 100k subs! :D
I think Nymphix would be a good name for this fairy form
I like the scale of down dragon flame
I love your redesigns
callimera i love your videos so much i think i could hear you talk about anything. I like that you look at these childhood shows with an analytic lens i'd like to suggest that you take a look at sugar sugar rune (maybe you watched it too) it's a magical girl show that focuses on two best friends who have to compete against each other for the title of queen of the world of magic. and at the same time they have to blend in the human world and conquer human hearts to gain points in the race to the throne but they can't give their hearts away ever. the relationships between those two girls is so interesting and they have a great progression through the show, and they are basically opposites and the perfect representation of opposites attract. even they're names are perfect opposites and complements chocolat and vanilla
NAH CUZ I ACTUALLY COUGHED AND SAID CHOLE THE SAME TIME CALLI DID-
When will Wildward continue?
Do you think you can do Bloom?
its actually season 1 - season 4. Its the original show
I do wish the show had Stella use magic connected to the moon. Since she is the princess/fairy of sun AND moon. I only remember her using sun magic and in season 2 she got sick in caves because moon magic if I remember correctly.
How about calling this transformation Universix? Because the Winx get their own littles universes when they get this form!
If someone decided to do a fan reboot of the show, I'd be in. Thank goodness for fanfiction though
Stella was my absolute favorite character, to me she was really charming. While I didn't like her selfish moments, her development made me really look up to her. After growing up and watching the early seasons again I started to deeply appreciate Winx's writing.
So imagine my disappointment when the Fate reboot made her a mean, bully rich girl with little depth... Granted that can change with time, but I doubt a season 2 will be made at all
I'm waiting for next videos about Winx
I like Legendarix for the transformation name :3
I think the Winx Club members maybe should have a corresponding organ. With Stella, it's the eyes. I also think she should be associated with clearvoyence.
What about Hydratrix for the fairy form? Like the Hydrake species you created? (I’m sorry if I’m mistaken on the name) or Maratrix?
Does anyone know what art program Callimara uses? It looks so cool :D
She's mentioned in a couple past videos she uses Clip Studio Paint
@@footh1013 okay thanks :D
