Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders Archive

Look another Jewel Riders-fanart with the baby-animals a new character-sort of.

In the early stages of JR Gwen/Starla had a sister named Tara who would babysit the baby animals and dreamed to one day have her own enchanted jewel. 

I though I could include her in my JR-reboot where’s she’s a bit more tomboyish and spends most of her time playing with the animals.

Well I finally did, I drew the girls beloved animal companions. (I’m not good at drawing animals so this took me a while)

Now they do look different from their original design and two of them have lost their “horsy” looks for a good reason. Much as I liked their standard looks I wanted to give the girl each a different animal than a trio of unicorns.

First we have Moon-Dance and Cleo, I kept Moon-Dance as a unicorn but I piffed her up a bit to make her more in the style of “traditional” unicorn (think the unicorn from The Last Unicorn movie.) She got a more motherly personality because guess what-she’s now the mother to Cleo the baby unicorn! I think they’re cousins in the original but I made them mother and daughter now instead.

Second we got Amber Starla’s companion. Technically Ambers not the redesign of Sunstar, Sunstar is Princess Gwen familiar so her new design I’ll draw (sooner or later). I decided to give Starla a dragon since a). Dragons are pretty cool and b). I’ve embodied a few things from the Arthurian stories and legends including King Arthur last name Pendragon (which means “Chief-Dragon” or “Head-Dragon”) and since Starla’s related to the Pendragon clan her bonding with a dragon makes perfect sense! Of course they’re both “divas” so there’s a lot of clashing between them at first so it takes time before the properly bond with each other.

Then at last we got Dusk (his name is a work in progress) the reboot of ShadowSong. He like Amber’s not a unicorn but rather a griffin thus perfecting the magical animal triangle; dragon, unicorn and griffin. Sadly he doesn’t have the same teleport powers like his old counterpart but what he lacks in magic he adds in energy and excellent flight. A goofball of pure joy and excitement this guy loves to fly, play and make new friends.
