Sweet Violet Fairy loved to paint the forest floor with her vibrant flowers spreading their sweet aroma.
The second of my fairy illustrations done in Copic Multiliner pens and white colored pencil.
Common plants, edible, medicinal or merely weeds are still beautiful.
Fairy of the Dandelions, playful and small, likes to see her wishing seeds dancing in the air.
Copic Multiliner pens and white colored pencil on brown paper.
From concept and reference to finished inks this piece took about 3 hours.
This idea started out as a concept for a new web banner combining symbols from classic fairytales. As I work on it more it developed into its own story of a fairy thief and a magic glowing jewel.
I slowly worked on inking this image a bit at a time in a quiet moment or two as a way to relax amongst all of the events of the last few months.
I still need to make a new web banner but I enjoyed the journey this piece took.
#inktober Day 13 – Fairy
Celtic fairy woman, lovelier then the summer sun, as subtle as the mist, sharper then the hawthorn branch.

Fairywoman wails for the fallen warrior.
This drawing was a bit rushed – just scraping in on Day 8!
Month of Love: Fantasy
“Fern Heart”
“The Oldest of all, the Queen of the Forest hid her heart
Under lock and blade, By frond and key”
From a very rough thumbnail this painting, along with her story developed very quickly. I found inking the tiny plant details very soothing.
