a commission for a friend, its a birthtile for her new born niece. The name of the little girl comes from melusine, which means fairy, ofc i photoshopped the name and other info away from it cause of privacy. Took me between 6 and 7 hours to make including the sketches I made for it.
used aquarel to colour it 

for some reason the last few things i scanned are a bit blury, sorry about that.

Very cute 1 But I’m affraid that Melusine was in the tradition the fay who was periodically changed into a snake...

:-) Rachel den Ambtman replies: "yes i know that, but as it was for a birthtile that didnt really fit, so i looked on for more information and decided to just draw her how she was before that story started, i found out she was a forest fairy and my friend also said she didnt had anything with water, but more with earth, so thats my reason for not keeping to the fairytale ;p"

Her wings are wonderful, and she looks so calm, gentle and kind, perfect for a baby 2
