Death fairy


Been wanting to do a fairy picture for a while. Still, I wanted it to have some depth, not just an excuse to draw an attractive, nude female. I did a little Wikipedia research and found out that some myths actually describe fairies as the dead. So I combined that with the stereotypical image of the fairy (think Tinkerbell) and gave her more insect parts. Her bug side is the carrion beetle, so I put her in the eye socket of a corpse. Pretty dark but fun.

Crayons, India ink on lightweight multimedia paper.
