Description I started this faerie drawing a while ago, but it took me a long time to color it. I kept procrastinating. The wings came out really nice - I love their transparency. It's pictures like these that make you love the possiblities Photoshop layers give you. This was first drawn on white sketchbook paper with pencil, inked, and the coloring was done in Photoshop. It was completed in March of 2003.

Prints, puzzles, and magnets of this illustration are now available!

How gorgeous! I love the wings and her hair. It's very detailed and reminds me of Amy Brown with all her fairies.

Very good. I like very much the colors, the background is also very nice.
Her dress, and her expression are great, as her hair too. The wigns remember ice and cold, like winter...
Very nice job, congratulations.

^_^ this is lovely - very detailed and Amy Brown-esque. You must have put a lot of effort into this.

I'm glad you like the level of detail. I wasn't going for a particularly Amy Brown look, but I guess it does kind of come across looking somewhat like her stuff. Though, these days, it's hard to draw a fairy without someone somewhere saying it looks like Amy Brown's stuff. Don't get me wrong, I love her art - it just shows what an influence she's had on fairy art in general.

Anyhow, thanks very much for the compliments!
