Fresh from the drawing table... Pixie!

I have for you another drawing that is fresh from the drawing table. This time around it is a Pixie! 'P' has some interesting monsters to offer up. It was a tough choice the first time through and it turned out to be an equally tough choice the second time through. There are several monsters I still really want to do, but I decided to go with a higher hanging fruit and a creature that on the surface could be out of my comfort zone. I present to you my version of an Pixie...

I had a really set idea and image in my head of what I wanted to do with the Pixie when I started. I wanted a slender inscetoid with an arrangement of features on the middle of its head to might imply a more humanoid face. Due to their small size and quick movements the idea of them being tiny people spread. I thought this would be a really straight forward drawing since I knew what I wanted to do well before start... it turned out I was wrong. This drawing is my third attempt at drawing this monsters, the first two had to be destroyed. I am actually not sure if I am really happy with this version either. I knew what I wanted to draw and I had visual motifs and details I was pulling in from other micro creature designs, but it somehow all turned out to be a very difficult challenge to pull it all together. I finally got a drawing past the finished line... it has yet to be determined if it is in fact the winner.
