Description the miniature of this lady is available for purchase here



If you saw the Earth elemental boss, youre probably thinking...uh...this looks like its only 1/20 the detail...

This design was also sketched back in the summer of 2007 (yes...that long ago) along with the fire fairy.

the Boss gave me total freedom on how these elemental bosses can look like, I had elemetal fairies designed for every element in Anima (all 8 of them) but the only other thing my boss asked me to do was, to try not to make everyone of them human shape.

This was why Earth elemental was a dino, (but be sure that you will see a earth fairy later )

It was tough choosing who would have my favorite shape, the humanoid. most epic battle was between water and wind, because on the fairy designs i liked those two the most.

Why and how did the wind preveil? simply because I drew her full sketch first @__@

Now why is she so simple in comparison to the earth one? because I wanted a design which, when you look at it, you can feel the air around it, space to breath (yeah I know, right?) and just over all refreshing like a breeze in May.

Lightnings were not strictly wind elemental, but I thought it was a fun thing to toss in, makes it less boring too, (for me at least XD)

originally there were no crystal balls, it was added to make her more boss like, rather than the original fairy look. The crystal balls each has their uses, but for now, that would be kept as a secret

whew, that was long...

This one is totally gorgeous! I think it's very interesting how you can deal with such a common subject ( elementals ) and still make them look creative and unique.
Her transparent feet add a great touch to it too.

"Now why is she so simple in comparison to the earth one?"

I actually like this one better than others. ¿Why? I sometimes feel you overcharge the designs with useless details xD. Its only IMHO, anyway .

Toshikii In reply to Wen-M [2009-01-13 19:36:51 +0000 UTC]

Maybe it was not the right expression (since im not english I find it hard to express correctly sometimes). What I mean is, IMHO, a character must be defined by its own simple design, not by the details. Sometimes I feel that those hundreds of details are blurring the esence of the character...

Sorry If I cant explain better XP.

Well, in the end what matters is that my designs are crapy and yours are awesome XD, so I think there's not much to say about that.

Tch!
even though Earth Boss had a BAGILLEON more details, I love when you make it simple.

You can draw the simplest concepts and still tell us a whole story!
I love to see your stuff for hours and hours! XD

I really like this Wind Faerie! specially her Hair, and that floating semi-transp cloth! o.o SO PRETTY!

awesome work - as always!
