Earth Fairy by @Leia (Leia Michaels)
Yep, another humanoid elemental fairy. ^-^ One I'm happy with. This one started as a sketch while I was at work, and I decided that the book she was reading was one of those little books that some folks like putting on their keychains. ^-^ Hence the key, and the keyrings.
Technical stuff... uhhh... I dunno. I'm fond of the fade effect, and just pick colors that I think 'work together.' Layer 'em on top of each other, and voila. ;) Prismas for everything, save the inking.

This is just so cute! I love her expression--it really looks like she's reading the book. Those are such cute keychain things, but they are way to small for me to do anything with so I never bought one, but I see now she can make some use of them. The coloring is really well done too--I like the rock and the background. Overall this is an awesome piece. Did I mention I heart faeries?
