Description
My girls! Based on more butterflies I interacted with in real life.Eroltakmato "Tahk" (left)- a sulphur butterfly missing two wings and an arm. She's a soldier injured in battle. Since being discharged, she groomed her inventing talents, hoping to become strong enough to enter the army again.
She's good friends with Zeru (the redheaded fairy), and Leilan (the blonde) is infatuated with her.
Kamala (right)- a question mark butterfly, and the only one of the four who can fly. However, she is terrified of losing the ability to fly, so she hardly uses her wings. She and Tahk have been friends since they were children. She is acquainted with the boys, but doesn't know them well.

I love the prosthetics, I thought it was only 1 wing (because the top one is a close colour match for the organic wings) & I was so busy checking out her awesome outfit that I didn’t notice the sword-hand until I read the description. My favourite part is the half-hidden clockwork wheel, it’s very “steam punk”

Thanks! I had a lot of fun with her design. The wheel has a crank handle, too, so she can lower/adjust her prosthetics.

omg your character designs gives me life! I'm completely in love with your fairies, you clearly put a lot of effort and thought into them because they all look very well rounded and diverse, Tahk is my favorite by far

Thanks so much! Tahk seems to be everyone's favorite. XD

I love the design changes you made to Tahk! She looks sophisticated, but still plently willing and able to fight off a robin. I can picture Leilan crushing on her.

OH mah gosh these are absolutely magnificent!!~
WOW...the wing designs on these two are beyond gorgeous. I love the detail of Tahk's wings and the idea of her having to make up for her injuries with prosthetic ones is very unique. Really adds to the character. >w< Also...a warrior fairy is majorly BA.
Kamala is beautiful!~ Her pose and style shows so much life. I love her!
Question:...Your fairies...are they human sized or the more traditional tiny scale? :3

Thanks! The wings are actual butterfly wings, but I had fun with Tahk's prosthetics. I'm not good with mechanics, so it was fun to try.
The fairies are butterfly sized.

Well they came out fantastically~ >w< Makes for a very original look~
And aaaaaaaaaaaaawww! ;//3//; as you've no doubt guessed from some of my characters I'm a sucker for characters of immense or tiny size...so I love fairies!~ >//w//< So precious!

Fairies are showing up in art again--and you modern artists are worthy of your forbears. Just... Don't stop drawing the mermaids! And Centaurs... Centaurs are nice!

I draw space mermaids every week! Though you are right, centaurs need more love.

I love the different cultural influences each butterfly has, and I think the stag beetle/paw print was a stroke of genius.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. That beetle took a while to get right. I'm going to go back to the boys and redesign them so they are more diverse, as well. The redhead probably won't change that much, but the blonde might.

I love these fairies. Tahk is probably my favorite; she's got such a unique design and persona about her.

Mine too. Though I got a lot of inspiration from Furiosa in Mad Max.

She really doesn't look like her though, I didn't notice.
Gosh I still need to see that movie XD

She just inspired her.

Awesome designs. The butterfly characters are a cool concept.

So the boys are named Zeru and Leilan? I actually made a character named Zeru once. Complete opposite of you character though. I love these butterfly fairies of yours. Their designs are so lively!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup! Zeru means sky, and Leilan means "heavenly flowers." I have so much fun with these guys, but I don't know what to do with them. They take so dang long to paint.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Zeru is basque, right? I'm actually part basque, and I think it's a beautiful name. Why do you work with butterflies, again?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, it is Basque! I draw butterflies because I like them, and I seem to attract them.
