Dark Fairy by Zindy Dark Fairy by Zindy
I had a Dark Fairy contest on my site last year, and this is the result.
You can see the contest and reference photo here:
[link]

I very much fell for the photo of the girl, Debbie. There were just something about it, her expression, the clothing. She was pretty much perfect for what I had in mind.
I very much enjoyed creating her, I feel my fairy ended up with just the right expression. The girl in my drawing kind of makes me think of a celebrity but I won't tell who, perhaps some of you will say in a comment :)

Made with a soft charcoal.
40x30 cm/16x12"

Prints available here: [link]

I didn't realize you did this picture!

...I realize that means nothing to you. Ok, backstory and context!

I am a writer. On occasion, I feel the desire to browse the intertubes for pictures to get inspiration for a short piece. While doing so on Deviantart, I found this picture, and got inspired.

[link] It led to this story, which, as you can see, has been published.

So..uh...thanks! If I get any tips from this story, I'll have to try to send some of the money your way, since this story wouldn't have happened without you!

Very beautiful image, I love her facial expression... and your shading is so smooth (as always :D)

I don't know which celeb you refer to, but considering the hair and facial expression, she reminds me of Denise Richards somehow...

Exactly, I think you are the very first to say that!:D I was afraid it was only me seeing the resemblance to Denise.
Thanks girl :hug:

I think the neck is a bit too short. It makes her head look too round.

But aside from that... :heart:

She reminds me of a combination of Britney Spears, Hayden Panettiere and Halry Bennet, who plays Cora Corman in Music and Lyrics

Ooo! The expression is perfect for giving off the impression of being a dark faerie. It turned out really nicely. Love the shading.
