A while back, I was thinking about the amounts of fairy art you see (Especially in Pyramid Collection magazine. XD) and wondered why you never see male fairies. Maybe they are really ugly? Maybe fairies are a-sexual? Maybe males and females look alike? Maybe males only live long enough to mate, then die, like bees? Eventually I thought maybe there is only one male fairy at a time, and ~psychocow007 and I were thinking of what this one male would be like.
Eventually, I got the idea for this dude. He is supposed to be very masculine biologically, but living ONLY with women, their says rubbed off. He is not gay (Would be really sorry for him if he were! ;_; ) but has picked up a lot of "female" mannerisms. Also, being the only male, there is no reason to design "male-only" clothing. What's wrong with dressing like everyone else? That's what they know how to make, and that's what is available. And, of course fairy clothing ALWAYS consists of poofy skirts and striped socks. XD He took for freakin' ever to finish to this stage, but I am proud of him. There are little problems, but I think it's overall one of the best things I've created. Especially proud of the whole body/head/neck/eyes/hair stuff. For the lineart, I learned how to use the Pen Tool in Photoshop. I never heard of it before, so I'm pretty inexperienced. Still ended up with probably my best lineart of any sort ever. lol Plan on coloring him when I'm back from Japan~! PS. I prefer you don't take and color and post this. Have the license set up so you aren't allowed. But, I can't stop you if you really feel like doing so. So, if you MUST, just give me proper credit in the comments and a link to this page. Why anyone else would color, though, I don't know. It's good for ME, not great overall. XD |

It's so true, too!!
There are male fairies on this old cartoon movie called Ferngully, but I think I like your version better :3
(all animated male characters had to have that "punk" attitude in the early 90s it seemed xD)
