SciFi and Fantasy Art Child of Earth by Megaera Callisto Lorenz

I drew this one for Woodworks' 'Bad Fairies' contest. The picture is based on a spooky song that I discovered in an 1899 song book. Here's a brief extract: Child of earth with the golden hair Thy soul's too pure and thy face too fair To dwell with the creatures of mortal mould Whose lips are as warm as their hearts are cold. Roam, roam to our fairy home. The theme of abduction/seduction by fairies is an old and popular one, and one of the creepier aspects of the fairy mythology. The medium here is colored pencil.
