Was in the mood for doodling fairies, (I’m sure the Changeling game I’m playing in has nothing to do with that urge!) and decided to do a take on the small, petal-clad fairies that you usually see. These one are bug fairies, the more badass cousins of the flower fairies of Cicely Mary Barker fame.
These particular drawings were just me futzing around with my sketchbook and a ballpoint pen, but now that I’ve got the basics worked out, I really want to try a watercolor piece in her style. I think the dragonfly fairy could be particularly ethereal and malicious looking with a little work on the design.

what is your character in Changeling?

They’re gorgeous! <3

Changeling – NWOD or OWOD?
I’m currently in a Lost game (NWOD) with a beast summer court (raptor)
Eagle0600 Says:
Wow, I think that’s the most adorable arachnid I’ve ever seen. Congrats on making me want to take it home and cuddle it!
Takley Says:
Ya know the one with the blood dripping from its claws….thats my dad. Thanks for the portrait!!!!
Razumny Says:
Wow, really neat!
I love the one on the top left!
Ceallo Says:
Just wanted to say really fast that I Love these sketches! Great Job!
Jenny Lööw Says:
I really like you fairys
And Changeling is a wonderful game, our GM (storyteller) use to play the soundtrack from the Sherlock Holmes movie, worked really well!
Essa Says:
Beast Summer Court for the win. Mine’s a jaguar.
Damien Says:
The spider one looks cool
Chris Says:
Well, dragonflies are the “devil’s knitting needles”…
Alina Says:
Glad you guys like these ones!
I’m playing in a nWoD-ish game. (‘Ish’ because of some tweaks to make it run better as a LARP.)
I’m playing an Autumn Court Spider Beast named Aranea. (Hence the spider doodle that kicked all of this off.) She’s an information broker, and collects and trades secrets, rumors, and knowledge. I’ll have to see if I can get some pictures at the next game – my costume includes six extra gemstone eyes stuck to my forehead, which is a simple-yet-creepy touch I’m pretty happy with.
R Says:
assuming the right one is the dragon fly fay, I got the impression someone has seen a torchwood episode too many times.
Kristy Says:
Ooh ooh ooh! Will we see Changeling in the strip at any point? (Oh please oh please…)
phantomcranefly Says:
Oooh, love Changeling. (I’m currently in a LARP as well- Spring Court Wizened.) Looking forward to pictures!
Fiery Diamond Says:
The spider one is definitely the scariest. I would run away screaming if I ever saw it in real life. The others would depend on how big they were, I think. And how malicious.
sillymagpie Says:
I love them!
threetails Says:
LARPing is fun. Mine actually is tomorrow – we do changeling 1st half of the day and then vampire.
Gotta pull my feathers out for the game
FlawArtist Says:
Now a question I have been asking myself for a while now is what what would the weregeek characters play. Abby would be something zany, Dustin something that would be big guy or british (or both), Sarah calm, cool, sexy (like steampunk, vampire, shadowrun games), joel sneaky and/or criminal, and Mark something newbish. But since Changeling offers so much opportunities to make unique characters you can’t tell exactly.
Urabyfirst Says:
Aww, no cWoD players out there? I just havn’t been able to get into the new stuff, although I did like the look of the new Changeling more than anything else.
Andy Says:
Changeling: the Lost is AWESOME. (One of the best RPG books I’ve read, actually.) Urabyfirst, it’s a drastically different game from Changeling: the Dreaming, but I think they did a good job with it.
Albert Says:
I know keeping faeries as pets is probably against all sorts of laws, but I want that spider thing.
threetails Says:
I see Abby as a fairest or elemental – possibly flame or lightning – Spring. Dustin as a Beast – english bulldog in a pith helmet and monocle (not sure which court), Sarah darkling- Autumn. Mark as possibly a ogre – Summer. Joel – possible darkling or wizened with Winter court
Nos482 Says:
Hmm, the one top left reminds me kinda of Abby… it´s probably the fiendish smile.
Patrick Says:
Is ‘doodling’ fairies a euphemism? Oh wait… you mean drawing. Never mind.
BlackJackChelaque Says:
These are just guesses, but let me know if I’m right please:
Top Left: Spider
Top Right: Dragonfly
Bottom Left: Scarab?
Bottom Right: Ant
These are really awesome, please post the watercolors when you do them, please!!!!!
