Insectoid fairies

January 20, 2012

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.
