Description // PLEASE FULL VIEW //

Caer is a fairie who fell in love with a human by watching him through a mirror. She made a deal with a Queen so that she would be able to meet with him every night in his dreams, in which he would never remember her outside of and would only last for a hundred days.

The mirror was all that stood between her and the one she loved so I wanted to portray her longing for him.

Done for a contest by ~AdmirateursDeLuciole . I've always admired Luciole's style and her characters/dolls. We had to choose a character, a theme out of the list, and a misc. aspect out of a list. I think mine ended up applying to more than one, but basically... I chose Caer as the character, beauty and elegence for the theme (tranquility or love could also work), and Ornate Design for the miscellaneous aspect.

Hopefully I've done justice to the character. She's from Luciole's 9 pg comic, Reflections. The story is beautiful and the illustrations so detailed and elegant. You can read it at Luciole's gallery [link]

~ On another note.... this is 95% acrylic painting, fine tuning, touch-ups, and details done digitally. The canvas drove me nuts! It was my first try at canvas and was way to rough for the details I usually like to do, thus my frustration. You can see the texture up close here [link] blah

- If you want to compare what I added digitally. Mostly fixing her face, hair, doing most of the swan, touching things up here and therem, and adding small details.
