Completed. I had to pause on this yesterday, but complete it - muse was screaming "Give me a break! And a hot chococinno whilst you're at it". I'm not 100% happy with the skin tone and I do appologize that the image itself is abit crooked (perhaps once all the paint is completely dry I'll edit the image w/ a good scan), but I have to say overall I'm happy with the piece for the few flaws I mention.
As previously mentioned before about this piece This is what happens when you listen to Tori Amos "(Power Of) Orange Knickers" - its becomes permanently lodged in your psyche/conscious/unconscious and everytime I heard this song my mind/muse went wondering off in this direction...a fairy w/ orange knickers. So, here I'am. I thought of rich, dark, deep autumn hues and the orange knickers...like this elegantly dressed fairy (no doubt in rich velvet) is abit of a fashion risk taker...orange knickers...who would of thought? Apparently she did.
Watercolor (w/ abit of pastel pencil and gouache) on Arches Hot Pressed 140lb paper (I really like the heavier stuff better) done over the course of 4 days, a few hours here and there at a time. Nope, can't do a picture in one sitting.

When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
Have a great time everyone and please fav this article so as many people can see the featured works. I would recommend seeing each one and faving them too.
