Day 9: The Fae

Day 9: The Fae

I ended up just going with the flow for this one, painting wherever things lead me. It seems they led me to a horned elfy guy.  For now he might work as one of the fae, which is a pretty broad group of supernatural beings in arthurian and celtic myth. 

This sketch was very, very easy, and came together with little effort in something like 20 minutes.  Sometimes the brush strokes just align in your favour.  

Lets make up some prose for him.  Uhhhh:

“Begone from this place, broadnose. I can no longer stomach your defiling stink.”

Ah shoot. He’s racist towards humans :(
