Such a beautiful image. So glad to see Capcom making Myria the frontispiece for a new crossover. She's a hugely underrated character and villain.

I love these storytelling scenes: SJ Guy’s “The Story of Golden Locks” c. 1870, & the original frontispieces for the British editions of the Grimms’ fairy tales, c. 1820s, & illustrated by the great George Cruikshank. I love the coziness. ☺️📚💫
