I cannot express enough how much I love this.
I mean, I LOVE it.
If I had an ultimate favorite list, this would be on it
She just looks as if she is glowing, with your erasing and shading, she looks marvelous.
The little faery-people look as if they are glowing as well. It's just...so good
I cannot express it enough.

People think it's watercolor because you fade a lot the pencil work, And because you use the kind of negative contrast you commonly use in watercolors to enhance shapes... ^_^
Would you mind telling me the name of that book? Maybe, maybe, I'm able to purchase it...

Oooh.... I like the look of the other ones too. So it's still being done ain't it? I think I won't be able to get it as long as I don't have a credit card but well... XP
Anyways, It's really cool to be recognized because of your art like that... Congratulations!

Yeah, I'm not done with all the art yet, and I think they're still editing some of the stories. I'll make a note of it in my journal here on DA when it's out.

I'll be checking it then, because I tend to block all journals 'cause when I log in back to the web I already used to have like 50 messages between deviations, comments, messages and journals! XP

your detail and shading work are incredible! This is just beautiful! you're really good at proportioning and making it realistic (in its own fantasy sense) I love faeries and fantasy and this is a wonderful representation of it

Saw this at ~ThePencilClub a while ago. Didn't have the time to say anything then but now....
I agree with those that say this looks like a watercolor. It has such a soft quality to it. Everytime I look I find something new that I hadn't seen before. This is wonderful!
Thanks for sharing it with us!
