Not What We Meant

This is for 's monthly contest, the theme this month was "elements" and I couldn't resist being a little toungue-in-cheek about it.

I spent a lot of time on Autor's boots, so you better appreciate! Once I had flattened the image and done everything else I moved it over to MS Paint to work on them, I haven't sprited in a while so it took forever.

Choosing who was which classical element was a bit tough, both Fakir and Rue have passionate personalities, both Mytho and Ahiru can be air headed, both are also aquatic bird so either would have fit for water, Rue is also a bird and so could have worked for air as well. In the end I rather like going with the elements I chose for them, their costumes match their eyes. I chose yellow for air because it seems so silly to have blue be two different elements and yellow is a nice, light, airy color. I also have personal issues with representing earth with plants but since Fakir turned into a tree in one episode (omigosh, spoilers you gais!) it seemed most fitting that he'd end up dressed as Puck.
