Description
"Fairy" is a surreal portrait of a beautiful and mysterious fairy in a dark, abstract forest. It was created with a combination of digital painting and photo manipulation using Corel Painter, Adobe Photoshop, and a Wacom tablet. Photo references are from my own photography.
I see her as someone who has underdone some sort of turmoil. An unbearable experience which has scared her soul, and disfigured her heart.
She will never be the same. She will never feel the same. She will never love the same.
Yet she is stronger for it. The internal agony has deepened her core existence. Has made her wiser. Has humbled her. Has broadened her reality on the pleasures and pains of life.
She will endure and prosper at the expense of heartache.
She knows now what it is like to lose and to fail.
She understands that going forward she must cherish, and not take for granted the good things that come her way.
Because at any moment, they can be gone forever.

I am impressed, you have subverted the usual innocent assumed nature of faeries and given it your dark touch and make the concept your own. Beautiful as always.

Thank you very much! I was trying for a moodier, and more of a gothic take on faeries. I'm glad I managed to pull it off

I liked the faeries in Torchwood, a more nightmarish take on them

I've never seen the show, but just watched the trailer. Looks really interesting. We just started watching through all the episodes of X-Files. Never realized before how good the show is!

Such an emotional piece. The brush strokes being so erratic add incredible depth

Beautiful! I love the meaning behind this. I like the sharp lines, which contrast nicely with the deep and "soft" meaning. Well done!
