SciFi and Fantasy Art The Collection by Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel)

September 2004 - Felt-tipped pen - 21cm x 29cm

Another lineart for Ellen Million's dark fantasy colouring book.
This is an idea that had been in my head for quite a while. Finally I drew it! And I really like how it turned out. Still I want to do a different and coloured version some day.

The fairies' names from left to right (and up to down): Neraidus lacer (lappet fairy), N. magnificus (magnificent fairy), N. margo (rimmed fairy), N. tropicus (tropical fairy), N. papavereus (poppy seed fairy), N. citrus (citron fairy), N. vulgaris sentis (thornbush fairy, subspecies of the common fairy), N. vulgaris (common fairy), N. v. minor (small fairy, subspecies of the common fairy), N. pusillus (dwarf fairy).

25 Jan 2005	Fred	Loading... LOL thats funney but sort of creepy Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Funny? O.o Wouldn't have thought somebody would call this funny ... Thanks for your comment! "
12 Oct 2005	J E. Stålberg	Loading... Wee, i want one of these collection, nah just kidding... But its as much pity for them as for butterflies, you are really good on propotions and realistic stuff Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "That's exactly my thought, the part about butterflies. "
13 Oct 2005	Emily	Loading... When I was a little girl, I had a walking-stick climb into my hair and sit down very politely on my shoulder. I was delighted by its bravery, but a friend of the family who was with me at the time (and who happened to be an insect collector) plucked it off of my shoulder and stuffed it in a plastic bag. The next time I saw it, it was pinned to a corkboard. I've never liked bug collections since then. Your dark (but really spiffy) drawing made me remember that. Great job! Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "What a sad experience! Thank you for your comment!"
15 Apr 2006	J Milburn	Loading... Another picture in the 'Intelligent Fantasy Creatures being Hunted' theme... I think I am going to need to get hold of this colouring book! This does seem to have a slightly more cartoony look to it than much of your other art work. Great Picture. Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "I guess it will take some time until Ellen Million finally puts that book together. This picture was meant to look more cartoonish and cute than the others. (At least this time it was intentional ;-).)"
16 Apr 2006	Dying Messenger	Loading... This is the perfect picture of life. It really is. It wonderfully shows that we are part of something so much bigger than we think and or know of. At any moment, we could be plucked from earth and set in a display, much like this faery one. I truly feel sad for creatures who are taken from their home to be set on display, whether they're alive or not, it's still wrong. Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you again, Dying Messenger! I absolutely agree with you."
6 Dec 2006	Fred Gillyweed Jones	Loading... Your picture is so sad and beautiful!!! It really makes me think... one thing though, isn't it spelt fae? but i'm nitpicking - brilliant picture Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "I guess there are various ways to spell that. There are probably even more ideas around about what exactly such a creature is... Thanks for your comments and Merry Christmans!"
16 Jul 2007	Anonymous	Loading... hey my name is esther as well lol. I think this picture is pretty awesome, its well detailed! Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you very much, Esther-as-well! ;-)"
27 Dec 2007	CoolieO	Loading... It's pretty barbaric, capturing little inocient fairies and killing them for a hobby. They still kind of look alive, are they indestructible? Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Oh my God, I think so, yes! I guess fairies would't be killed so easily. At least that means that those poor ones could be rescued ..."
12 Jun 2008	Dragoneyes	Loading... Go, little fairy! Escape from that jar!
1 Nov 2011	Jean Kogok	Loading... Love this!
