I think the mask really sets it off. Most faeries look nature-ish and pretty...basically all the same... This one is really mysterious... I love it....
I love the originality of this. This is the first fae I've seen in quite some time that didn't look like an imitation of any other artist's style. Wonderful.
Your use of watercolor is just so amazing and free. This little faerie looks like he could really be outside flying around right now! I love the outfit, especially the spotty socks! And the mask and wings are just so cool!
