Regal Miscreants {art}

New fandom! I've fallen head over heels for The Magicians on Syfy and being me, art is the result.

The series title is from S2E3 "Divine Eliminations," when Eliot exhorts his friends to "Be regal, miscreants," and the individual titles are the cognomens that they took when crowned (yes, I had to figure out what those names after their names are called; it's really hard to look something up when you don't know the name of it :D). I tried to find objects that were significant to each character. Some were really easy and obvious, like Q's book, and Alice's glass horse. Others, not so much. El is so much more than someone who really likes to drink, and yet it really is a defining characteristic of his, so he's our King of Cups. It was really hard to find an object representing Margo's absolute need to be in charge that isn't the crown she's already wearing, but she's always handing her friends wine bottles. :D
