Description
OMG OMG OMGthis was a monster super crazy BITCH of a project and I worked my ARSE off on it but FINALLY its done!!!
I am very happy with the results and am are be mentally preparing myself for the worst since the pictures I love the most are the ones I'm the least optimistic about XDDDD! Here's hoping you guys like it as much as me though! Also if this is chock full of spelling errors its because I am SO freakin tired but just couldn 't sleep till I finished (since I was "soooo close" 4 hours ago haha)
But yeah king of the fae finally colored! He ended up looking a lil more femme than I wanted but then he's a fairy and we all know what that means *wink wink*
Okay credits:
*midnightstouch for sexy brushes that without which I would not have survived
*kuschelirmel-stock for their flowers. Yes I used the acutal photo ^^ with permission.
~SmokeStock for the super sexy flower petal texture I used in the sleeves and pant leg things
I apologize to the person who I referenced my turtle from. I'm afraid I thought I favorited your turtle but devart has been forsaking my favorites on a regular basis since the upgrade ^^ and I cant find you again. So if you find me please let me know haha.
And I apologize as I dont remember who the creator of the cloud brushes was but KUDOS TO YOU AS WELL!
Time spent: more than I care to count
Tools: aside from stock and textures listed, photoshop, open canvas, and the insanity of my masochistic brain

when i saw this listed i was like, "sweet!". you really did an excellent job on this pic. even if he did come out a little more femme than desired, he still makes for a very pretty fairy. Besides, he's the king, why shouldn't he look pretty? lol. You can tell a lot of thought and effort went into this. I absolutely love the turtle, it was a nice touch indeed. ^^

LMAO yeah you definitely have more energy than me right now XD; And I keep fighting to improve because I see people who are so much better than me getting less attention than me...makes me feel like I should try harder so I can at least half earn what I have. XD; course it always seems like the harder I try the less likely it is to get attention. Ah well ^^ I'm more satisfied with my work when I try harder too so who cares right?

I really know what you mean!! The stuff I just kinda poop out people ususally seem to like better (in general that is) than stuff I spend absurd amounts of time on! I think it's the artists' curse... or their test perhaps?

First glance: "Oh wow, what a pretty fairy girl!"
Second glance: ". . .FUCK."
I have to praise your coloring skills, but even so, this won't be going in my faves. Just cause I'm annoyed that the BOY fairy who looks like a GIRL has purple hair.

Think of it this way: plenty of people will love and fave it anyway. Any one of your pics crushes any one of mine in all categories.

Great work, it's super pretty! You put together all the different elements very well.

I remember looking at the lineart of this when you posted it and thinking "JESUS CHRIST SLDFJSLDFKJSDF". I would never be able to spend that much time on something... because I'm hecka impatient.
This is my favorite work of yours, by far. It's easy to see by the detail of everything, the amount of time and the impossible effort you put forth to make it complete. Also, I'd like to note that you blended the real photos of flowers with your CG very well. I was torn between "are they real or did she draw them?" so that's definitely good.
Wonderful job.~

I painted the purple ones in the back and yeah I've been trying to get better at blending stock. I'm glad you like it and YAY COMMENTS! *eats on them and loves on them* okay passing out now

Stunning! I do believe you've out done yourself on this one! Then again, I've been in love with your work since I first laid eyes on it back in 2006. So maybe I'm a bit biased. ^^

^____^ your avatar changes but I remember your name...thats how long you've been around XDD! I'm really happy with this too. I think its one of my best
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You always do stunning work. So I never understand why you worry about others reactions!
And yeah, I've been watching you for what...two...three years now? I just get bored with my icon from time to time. But I never get bored with your art!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
^^ well I think its natural to want people to like our creations right? And on the pictures I work the hardest on if I have low expectations I'm less likely to be let down if they arent recieved well ne?q
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is true. I guess it's just hard for me to imagine someone not liking your work. Even though I know how picky people can be sometimes. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who dont like my work ^^ I know a few IRL! haha
