Flower Girl Faeries

So I recently created a tumblr, and while I'm still working into actually using it, I have found some artistically inspiring images on it already. A friend had recently reposted some incredibly pretty flower petaled girl figures someone put together and photographed, and when I saw them I decided to paint some little flower faeries to match the girls.

You can find all the original photos from Elsa Mora at her blog here. I'll post the images I based the drawings off of here too, so you can compare, but follow the above link to see the rest of the originals, they're quite lovely.

Plain ol' watercolor! :)

Tumblr 1 and 2

Quetzalcoatl

Oh hey, this seems to be a common critter with me. Aside from the fact that winged snakes are awesome, this piece is actually a bit older. This was a painting that went with my initial Birds of a Feather series idea, but since the teacher didn't like it too much I did a complete overhaul to the monochromatic pen and ink pieces. In any case, I had worked on this painting to a not quite complete stage, and here it is in that same not-so-completed stage, just so all you lovely people can see what the series may initially have looked like.

This was actually the second painting I did in the initial idea format before I called it quits. I almost completed the painting for the Firebird as well, which I'll post later.
