Magik - HELL’S SOVEREIGN / Bazal

"forged in torment, crowned in power"

Magik enters the composition with the authority of someone who has survived hell—and returned to rule it. Illyana Rasputin, sorceress supreme of Limbo, mutant warrior and tactician, commands immediate tension.

Her gaze is sharp and controlled. There is no hesitation—only precision. The massive spiked shoulder piece is not decorative; it is a warning. Each spike projects outward like a silent promise of consequence. Her mechanical arm, rendered with meticulous detail, adds a cold technological layer to her already formidable presence.

The deep neckline and confident stance speak not of vulnerability, but of certainty. Magik does not flirt with power—she embodies it. Her extended hand does not beg; it decides. The gesture feels ritualistic, as if she is seconds away from opening a portal… or pulling us through it without consent.

This commission, executed in black ballpoint pen, showcases Angel Bazal’s direct and uncompromising linework. There is no visible safety net of preliminary sketch—each stroke is deliberate and final. The density of ink builds volume and shadow, reinforcing the character’s intensity.

This is not merely a mutant portrait. This is a queen of war, sorcery, and steel.
