This fairy is only one to three millimeters tall. It flies around in a dim, warm summer night, carrying it's own light above it's head. Occasionally it lands on a leaf and drinks a fresh water drop.

I love it. But I would like it a bit more without the shoes...

Wonderful colours.

No arms....nifty. I really like this one.

This is really beautiful and spooky. It gives me the creeps and yet I must back to look at it. Brrr...

Those ballet shoes and such a masculine form.... >.>

Sorry to comment twice... but my husband just told me that there is a fish called an angler that lives in the deep sea, that has a phosphorescent globe attached to an appendage on its head. It uses the light to attract other fish, who are mesmerized by the light... and when they least expect it... CHOMP! They're lunch. ^_^

:-) Johanna Iso-Järvenpää replies: "Yes, I have heard of those fishs and I find them very fashinating. "

The lack of arms creeped me out at first... But I like it! The light idea is very cool. I'm not sure what to think about the ballet shoes... But overall it's a very cool fae! ^_^

Maybe this species has telekinesis as a compensation for the lack of arms

well, this encarnation of the fairy idea is the most likely actually. land vertibrates have 4 apendages, not 6. two arms, two legs. the 3rd set would be wings, if land vertabrates HAD a 3rd set of arms. so this is a good idea. i must admit, its presented oddly, but thats cool, its humerous...

:-) Johanna Iso-Järvenpää replies: "Yes, I see the point; yet, thinking of the size of this fairy (2 millimeters), it is hardly a vertebrate. Thus, it should have two legs, two pairs of arms plus one or two pairs of wings. What a mix! *yes, I like taking funny things seriously*"

Heh, how does it tie up it's shoes? 10
I love the idea, most think a fairy is some woman with wings, and don't go into any more depth, however, yours does. I love the detail you've put on it. Keep it up, lovely drawing. (As usual. I'm running out of things to put.)

:-) Johanna Iso-Järvenpää replies: "Remember how we talked about finding the oddest pose (and subject, for that matter)? It works!"

This is the best fairy I've ever seen! It differs from all standard drawings. It looks like a cross between male and female as well as something between human and insect. I'm not quite sure what to think about the shoes ..but ultimately it is a fairy and not a creature of 'real' biology.
