Ah, hopefully this peice will bring me out of my 3-month slump. Not really a story... Its basically trying to express how a fairy feels when she's happy!! She's in mid-backflip, by the way. Took only 3 hours to color. Used photoshop for he fairy and Corel painter classic for the bg. I drew it by hand and scanned it in and then traced it to get the black outline. Hope you like it.

Yay! First comment! *does the wild and crazy traditional first comment dance*
Okay. *ahem*
Wow! Jennifer this looks really great, the colour job on it is amazing (only 3 hours?) and I like the background too. Oh! And the pose is really funky! ^_^

:-) Jennifer Petitte replies: "Thank you!!!! I think it only took 3 hours because it wasnt very complicated... not may details, still had the black lines to color in, etc. Thank you again!"

Like the pose. She looks like she's basking in the sun, soaking it all up. 2

Very good! However do you get the colours to mix so well and have it not smudged? I really love the body structure and all.

:-) Jennifer Petitte replies: "Thank you. I use photoshop, and the airbrush works very well. I set it on low opacity, and blend the colors as I go. I also do use the smear brush, though. 2"

Wow, I just love her wings and her pose. She looks like a pom tree or whatever you cal them, because of the cocanuts and the leaves of her skirt.

:-) Jennifer Petitte replies: "Lol you mean palm tree? Yes, I can see that...maybe she is a palm tree sprite?"

I think that this is my favorite computer-colored piece in your gallery. It really is something. The background adds to the overall effect of peacefulness and serenity.
