This image is so sweet! I absolutely love the gentle emotion on the girl faery's face... It's amazing. The soft coloring really does work well, I really think the colored pencil texture adds a lot to this image. I'd love to see the CG'd version, as well, even if you don't particularly like it. Comparison, you know? Beautiful image.

actually, I did a cg version of this, but I love the hand colored much better I was able to get the darkness and the more softer effect that I wanted
Well done! nice color toning....Shirley
