As I perused the legions of fantasy art online, I learned a few things; you don't have to worry about anatomy, color relativity is irrelevant, shiny metal and ethereal backgrounds are key elements to any fantasy piece, and fairies either cry or pose seductively. Since Scott has done such a fabulous job with all the rules but one, I thought I'd cover the one he missed.
Then I got to asking. Why do fairies cry? What gives them blue skin? What's up with the uprooted plant? Why does Wynona Ryder always come to mind when I think of what a fairy would look like? Why did I actually spend time painting a fairy? I could only justify painting her by putting skulls in her wings. . . Skulls make it alright.

I love those skulls Casey! Good drawrin' - Glad you posted.
And it is definitely perfect bad fantasy art.
C'mon Casey, admit that you liked doing this. :) The tear-streak is too perfect, I wish I would have thought of it myself.
Those are very nice colors, I must say.
thank you antishakespeare for a glimpse into your pathetic life of vulgarity. There are probably better forums for your "creativity" than this art blog. Branch out...then cut the branch off.
Oh, Casey, nice painting by the way.
Nice image casey.
aintshakespeare, your first comment has been deleted. I left your second up but in the future please refrain from comments that could be offensive. We create family entertainment and have a wide range of ages that visit this blog. Lets keep it clean and refrain from comments involving genitalia. Peace.
rock on casey! I dig your color work here and the fun shape-making in the wings.
Casey, this is fantastic!!! I love it!!!
Nate, I think you need to take some diplomacy lessons from Joe. You can say what you want to say without being a jerk. I love you man. :)
Wow, who knew a crying fairy painting would be a catalyst for such a discussion? Shoot. . . Maybe next time I'll leave off the skulls and put in flowers.
Yeah, more fairy skulls Casey! Dig the line quality.
I would cry too if there skulls on my wings... and I already cry about uprooted plants. Very nice, Casey.
Wow, she's cute. Great lines and the color is cool.
Ok, fellas, sorry. I guess I got carried away. My comments should be about the art.
I actually like this piece. The melodrama -tears, skulls, and watery eyes- are classic.
