The summer ended rather suddenly. Cold, wind and rain. With it, the migraine of several days... brrr. Just time to reveal this month's sticker, trying to recapture the sunshine. Behold, the Fire Wizard!
What can a fire wizard own? All kinds of fiery, smoky artifacts, of course. Spell books, wands, sticks, potions... And of course a phoenix hatchling! And a few other odds and ends, fireballs, scrolls, and so on.
At first I planned to be just a "plain", non-specific wizard, but soon enough I was on my way to the flames. It seemed better to concentrate on just that, but of course the other, more magical ideas weren't completely wiped out.
Many, many memories came with the fire wizard... The overpowered M.A.G.U.S characters, Fizban's classic spell, the Baldur's Gate tricks before the battle... but mostly it reminded me of the first Duke Nukum/Nukem game. I'll tell you why!
A long time ago, we used to go to our grandparents' house a lot in the summertime. During school holidays, there had to be three kids somewhere. Plus our aunt was there, she must have been towards the end of high school. Almost every day we played something on the computer. Threat, Wacky Wheels, Wolfeinstein 3D... In general, there weren't many games that you could play with that many people at once. Then one person would play and the others would watch, comment, before YouTube - before it was cool!
Duke Nukem was like that. I was playing most of the time, and the others... singing. I don't know why, but they figured out that every opponent had to have a song. If it came on the screen, you had to sing it. This was especially exciting when you had three or four different opponents walking on the platforms at the same time.
There was this enemy in the game:
Yes, he is the Fire Wizard! And this is his intro music:
The refrain goes something like this: "Fire wizard, with your blue eyes, burn me, burn me or let me go!"
That's why I love this project! It makes me think of random things! :D
But back to the stickers! On this sheet you will find 16 stickers in total. My favorite piece is this cute little chicken:
The sticker is now available here: Etsy store!
What do you think of this piece? What wizard would you like to see in the future?
