Faery Queen

I spent a lot of time and energy on this one - but here's my Faery Queen!

Originally the idea was just to have a Venus-like goddess (wider of course) standing in this pose with dark hair wrapped around her body like so (only spiralling the other way in my head - i changed the direction of the spiral since the face was toward the right - the hair wouldn't have wrapped around like a scarf as convincingly if it was also strung right-wards at the neck).
But then somehow i got this idea of a majestic, magnificent (and somewhat conceited) Faery Queen, with lovely green skin and beautiful blue hair!
I think she turned into a faery when i added the floating orchid above her left (her left, our right) hand.
I may still do a goddess version some day ...

But i am really super-proud of her!!! It's been too long since i've done GREEN green skin!! And yes, i do many of my wings in green/orange/purple combinations, but hell i love those colors!

I don't know if i'm done ... i feel she needs a background, but this is my big sketchbook ... so backgrounds are so annoying to do when filling larger paper ... with so many little curves and bits to color around ... But we'll see ... i may add something yet ...

Some of the proportions are funny, but overall i this is one of my all time faves!

How 'bout you?
