Description
More original artwork by me~! ^_^ Faeries are always uber-popular artwork on this site, it seems. I've seen a lot of them but one thing I haven't seen is a darker faerie. I don't mean "dark" as in evil or bad. I mean in skin-colour. Most faeries are fair but I have not seen one that is darker complected. So I just started to doodle away & came up with this concept. She looks a bit Indian-ish (as in India, of course!), thus is the reason I gave her such a name (which is a flower name in Indian). I've seen the Indian/Hindu paintings & they are very bright in colour, so I had fun making the colours bright in this painting.
As for the flowers, they are nothing in particular. I just drew them & coloured them as I pleased. If I actually have new people looking at my artwork (!), my style is in manga (Japanese comic/graphic novel) style. Though, I do have my own unique look, which is good. I've looked & researched a lot of mangaka & am pleased to know my style is original.
Hope everybody likes it!

Well done. The stylization is excellent. Your drapery is really good.

Thank you so much for commenting on this! I wanted to do a faerie that was totally different than all the usual faerie artwork (where they are all fair).

Glad you like the colours. I got inspired by the traditional artwork from India & decided to make a faerie based off of it (since faerie artwork usually features fair-complected faeries) & also mixed manga-style into the work.

She really is wonderful, I'm so glad you stepped out of the traditional "faerie box" and drew a unique and lovely faerie!

It's not brocade, but I actually don't know what it is. What is sari material made out of? *Clueless* I always see that type of fabric with gold detailing on the bottom & I tried to do that. Thanks for the comment, though!

Amazing! I really, really love this. The pose is so lively and yet a bit secretive. The hair is so shiny and detailed, and her expression is really very uplifting! That background with the roses and sun image just set this image. I propose a print made of this one! I'd buy it for certain.

Awesome job! I am so in love with Indian style - it's so colorful and beautiful. And I like how you made a darker skinned faerie, utilizing that style. I love the bangles and the background fits the style really well!

The first thing I thought was that she looked Indian too! I love Indian culture.
The draped fabrics, the bright colors, the flowers, it looks so good!

X3 White is nice and all, but for shading it would need grey... D: So the cool colors are an excellent choice. X3

Woah! That's really very good! I love how you've done the flowers! I can never get flowes to look good or even realistic like you've done here!
Got to love the vast colours and the beautiful and graceful pose!

Thank you very much. I'm happy to read that you say the flowers look rather realistic. ^_^ I'm always happy & grateful to get your wonderful comments on my artwork.

Wow, so many colors, heheh. I especially like the gradient effects on the cloth and flowers (The flowers kinda remind me of carnations, maybe? I dunno...). Details are superb as ever. Great job and keep it up (^-^)!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm, you're right...they do resemble carnations just a tad bit, with that colouring. Thanks for the comment on this. I'm glad you & a few others still find my artwork worthy. I'm still so uninspired. I think this is going to be the last thing I submit for a while.

Ah, don't worry about inspiration. For me, it's just will power and time that cuts me off, heheh. Your art work is great and you should really keep at it, even if you don't post any up. It's always good to keep practicing.

Thank you very much for such encouraging words. Knowing that you & a few others like my art actually gives me a reason to post up my artwork. I just don't know when I'll put up a next artwork because of my schedule at the moment.
