Of all the different portrait themes I've taken on, fairies were always my least favorite. I guess I just saw them as sappy like rainbows and unicorns.
Well, I think Tinkerbell came into my bedroom one night and sprinkled pixie dust over me whilst asleep cuz now I'm finding myself quite fairy friendly. Must have a lot to do with my snookums Ava being a fairy fan (she's got 'em in the backyard AND the john!). To quote The Monkees, "Now I'm a believer".
The positive aspect of this new-found "respect" for them shows up in this latest Toil Girl. Not only did I not cringe when Angelica's hubby said, "Oh yeah, and draw her with fairy wings, will ya?", but I put tons of love and sweat into this piece. More precisely I put more TIME into this one. This pup took a whoppin' two weeks to finish. The most time I've ever spent on one of these portraits and I enjoyed myself immensely. By far the most tedious part was the fur on them critters. The blasted deer took a full 9 hour day!
Anyways, I'm quite happy with the piece and I can't wait to get feedback from the client's wife.
Thanks very much for taking the time to look, all.
By the way, has Dimensions ever considered creating an Art Forum? There's sincerely not a whole lot that gives me as big a thrill as seeing a fellow FA artist displaying his latest creations here. If I polled every fellow on Dimensions and asked what their favorite art subject is, I'd have to assume the words big, beautiful women would scream out from their keyboards.
