Description Started out like a dryad type thing, but the whole baby-ish look to it made me go for a plant that just doesn't ever get to be old and mighty... grass.

So, here's a grass sprite, as imagined by yours truely.

Notes:
Yes, the hair is meant to be like grass, and grass seeds.
No, that stuff in the hair is not feathers :/
No, it's not a girl, it's an it. Do you really think grass spirits have sexes?
Don't answer that.
Done in Opencanvas4, using only pen tool (Yes, even for the bits that look like watercolour tool)
Done using Wacom Tablet
Tablet is not spelt 'tabet', I am aware of this pix, if you happen to see this
Other versions (and progress saves) are available at this [link]
Lots of love went into this, don't shoot me down too badly XD

p.s. I really like comments

This is amazing. The ear is kinda weird but I guess it's supposed to be like that or else it would just look like a baby with interesting hair. Anyway, nice work.

It's like, creepy giant fae ear. Elves get to have creepy pointy ears, why can't the grass thinger have creepy giant ears?
As you see, I spend a lot of time pondering the deeply philosophical justifications for my artwork... not. Creepy giant ears! Thankies ^^

It's still as beautiful, as when I saw it first time I've no ideal why i haven't add this one to favourites yet... O_o' Still can't think of any constructive criticism, sorry Love B&W and the whole feeling of this pic
And I just check if you can make a whole face of it to see how it will looks like And you know, what? You can! Was just curious Now I know how a grass spirit looks like Still very nice

The only problem with making the whole face of this pic are eyes 'Cause both are watching in different directions There was a time when I was doing it with all of my pictures I could Just to check how crooked they were And believe me, they were... Your grass spirit is not

Hehe, yeah, I got your version of it, it was actually really really well done xD I'm kinda proud of myself for giving it relatively face-like proportions

That's a superb little doodle, miss. I must say I'm almost sad it's so small! I'd love to see greater detail, though the graphic hair and all are pretty slick at this size. Her eye is nicely done, as are her lips. Reminds me distinctly of a Rackham or DiTerlizzi piece.

I'd love to see a bigger version too, unfortunately I drew it at this size to start with, and enlarging things never did the pixels any good!
Thanks for your comment, always appreciated
