El Loco Bruja's Bruja-ha-ha

Abigail Soto is the artist and writer of growing fame on Digital Arts and beyond. Her DA site is full of hundreds of TF pictures where her magical characters lay to waste everyone from the average Joe to comic book superheroes.
Most famous of her characters is a nigh-omnipotent sadistic and bra ...more |

I have a DA site and I've been seeing a lot of this person. Her
character Lucinda is very popular.
I really like her work. And I really like the stories.
Worth a peek

I'm a big fan of her Lucinda character!
LUCINDA RULES

Meh... I've never really been a fan. She's really just seems like a
carbon copy fusion of Naga's The Sorceress and the Witch Girls
comics.
Speaking of which, i'm surprised Naga's Den isn't up here...

I don't see any problem with people saying when something isn't
their cup of tea. They aren't going on and flaming the person or
continuously complaining about it. Personally, I'd like to see the
Lucinda character be something less than nearly omnipotently
powerful, but what she is works very well for her fanbase, so she's
doing something right.

I think its all mute (Naga's sorceress vs, Lucinda) as both have
done fan art for the other so I guess they like each others work.
I think Naga's stuff is more adult but the Lucinda stuff is very
fun and wicked.
So they both have a place I think.

I don't care for the attitude of either the character or the
creator. She's really quite an ametuer (or at least, as an
extremely ameteur artist, any time I see a mistake in someone's
artwork that I wouldn't make myself, I assume it must be an ameteur
mistake), but she seems to think her work is worth upwards of forty
dollars. Aside from that, her character has no interesting
qualities, is the embodiment of the superman complex ten ways to
hell and the overall quality of the stories she writes . . . why
would you be interested in reading about a character whose defining
characteristic is "I'm so bad and it's so cool?"
Oh, sure, I hear people talk about the Witch Girls character
Annebelle (I might have to read that at some point), but from what
I've heard, there's a lot more to her than that. Or else, I'm
reading too much into it.
I think Ms. Soto gives this genre a bad name and if she had any
decency, she'd make a notable effort to improve in all aspects,
which I fail to see. Most of us are dablers, and we may produce
some form of artwork or storywork from time to time, but there's
little that irks me more than someone with very little skill or
talent who thinks what they do is worth anything more than personal
gratification and maybe a few cheap yucks.

That's not flaming, it's genuine criticism.

Lucinda is Okay but I really love her Circe stuff, that's sexy.
Also I forget the name of the story but its in her DA gallery.
Its about the Witch from NYC that goes back to visit her parentsin
Iwoa for her aunts funeral.
Great story.

Wow, someone actually recognized genuine criticism. That's a
rarity.
It's not a personal thing, I just don't like the attitude at all.
She seems to think she's a great artist and she's really only an
ametuer and her stories aren't all that great either. I've no
talent for either writing or drawing, but I'm pretty sure I could
do better at both, if I tried, certainly better at writing. It just
bugs me.
Me, I'm into Tfs for my own personal reason, same as anyone else,
but I like it to be meaningful (like in Lord Dunsany's "Widow
Flynn's Apple Tree") and not just tf for the sake of tf, unless
it's really well done, (like it was in Algernon Blackwood's
"Ancient Sorceries" and the Theif 1 cinema). I mean, a witch zaps
people just so that she can zap them? What's the point? The setup
itself is so limited that there's nothing you can really do with
it.

Just discovered this on DA and the official comic book site.
The art gets better.
I also thought the Transformation A-Z was great.

UN Owen, that may have been genuine criticism, and I may agree with
some of what you're saying, but it was harsh and borderline
flaming, which is what others were trying to point out...
Anyway, my whole, and only, miff about the series is the
character's drive... I'm all for tfs for no reason, but when you
give the character personality, the personality and the reasoning
for the personality become crucial... I personally think the dark,
moody personality, and the "I'm evil, and I'm going to elaborately
destroy you just for being in front of me," personalities (both
influenced by Witch Girls, the main reason I dislike Witch Girls),
don't just click, and Ellocobruja is making no effort to make them
click, so they stay stagnant.
I suppose that's why random tfs are so fun, you don't really have
to think about all that, but, then again, you don't really have to
think about it when the personality is done well, look at Naga's
art, it just clicks, so I don't go thinking about the Sorceress'
psyche when I see random tfs on the site... it's when the
personality isn't tendered that completely (I mean, it could work,
but Bruja really only established the personality and then went off
on a tirade of destruction, usually a good think, but in this
case), something Bruja's only now starting to do, really...
However, I am starting to warm up to the character and the
series... It's not that bad, so I guess Bruja's doing a smite
better job than I do him (her?) credit...

Have anyone heard about the movie?

Lucinda is a standard Mary Sue character. She's lacking in depth
and personality, which makes the material using her get quite dull.
I used to watch her Deviantart, but now I don't, nothing new or
interesting ever came from it. It was all shallow, Mary-Sue
characters doing whatever they wanted to whatever victim with no
real limitations in power.
Of course, it's no wonder she has a lot of internet fans, most Mary
Sue characters have a loyal following.

Dude, I've seen you on post on her Gallery thing.
I remember you saying pretty much the same thing.
Which I guess means you're not very orginal.
And since she's not a fan character and an actuall published
character or soon will be (per what I've been reading) she's not
really a Mary Sue.
Which I guess makes you an idiot.
And since your so obsessed with her and her character to the point
of stalking her to shoot her down across the net. That makes you a
Loser.

Everyone has their own opinion on things... let's not get personal.
Certainly, point out or correct the facts... and elaborate on why
you disagree with others' opinions. Everything else will sort
itself out.
