Description I missed drawing this little guy, so I felt like doing some sketches of him. I want to start working on my Spailpin cartoon more than I have. 
Anyway, he is very polite to people because of growing up as a servant. The sketch of him holding out a stick, when he is told that he is the son of the Prince of the Celtic Faerie Realm, Elsbeth and Douglass, the Scottish Faerie twins get him to practice conjuring up magic. He first has to practice conjuring up magic through a stick. He doesn't believe that he is a Prince, and thinks it's all nonsense. Not sure how yet, but he eventually regains his memory somehow, but until then, he thinks Elsbeth, Douglass, and the rest of the Faeries are nuts. Also, until he gets his memory back, he isn't able to do magic, especially since his human half is stronger than his faerie half because of living his whole life so far as a human being. 
Enjoyed drawing the sketch when he is being all pouty. Also, the one on the bottom right, he is obviously thinking about his crush, Tereza. Heh, drawing toons with love struck expressions is fun.

Cool to see this fella again, he has some great expressions here, especially his scowling face.

Spailpin is a word derived from an Irish word for a poor, unskilled laborer/ farm-worker.  It is also used to refer to a lowly trouble-maker.

He's a human/faerie character I came up with a little over a year ago. Here's the first drawing of him and his best friend/sidekick Brody. I explained some of the story in the description. Course, I added to the story as time went on.
