Fancy Shawl Fairy

August 29, 2014

I’ve been continuing to play around with designing Native fairies, combining a little bit of Froud with some of the wonderful pow wow regalia, and so I was delighted when a fan commissioned a drawing of one of these fairies from me at Gen Con. This one is based off of a Fancy Shawl dancer, with hints of a butterfly motif to her regalia’s colouration. Also, I left it ambiguous as to whether she has arms under her shawl, or whether her wings wrap about her like a shawl.

Here’s a sample of some Fancy Shawl dancing, for those who are unfamiliar: LINK
