Seems straight forward enough. Almost... TOO straight forward.
cue weeks of second guessing my original, solid, and fun idea

@Chip-Valecek I'd love to make a piece for this one.

Freya Chakour · 7 Sept 2020, 19:51

Love the prompt!!! Hope so much I find the time to participate

@Braden-Hallett @Heather-Boyd you can do whatever you want. Just make it look like ink. Here is the slideshow from last years http://cshellmedia.com/clients/svs/penny_dog.html

@Chip-Valecek Hi again everyone. Last month I was not very active here, but i am here now. Subscription is also active so this is my entry for this month.
Good luck.

Hmm sounds like fun! Can’t wait to see what everyone makes. Wonder what this in fairy is going to look like

VeronicaMui · 9 Sept 2020, 16:01

@Dima-Eichhorn I like that she’s got tattoos

Heather Boyd · 9 Sept 2020, 16:09

@Dima-Eichhorn my 8 year old niece likes this.

@Dima-Eichhorn Ahhh! So that’s what ink fairies do. I may have to tat up my guy, too. Hilarious!

Dima Eichhorn · 9 Sept 2020, 16:42

@chrisaakins yes and please do it. Glad you like it.

Dima Eichhorn · 9 Sept 2020, 16:44

@Heather-Boyd Hi Heather, this is so cool. I am so happy she likes it.

Dima Eichhorn · 9 Sept 2020, 16:54

@VeronicaMui Thanks!

Heather Boyd · 9 Sept 2020, 17:20

@Dima-Eichhorn My niece is pretty good at art for her age and I have introduced her to watercolour, gouache, pencil crayon qualities, oil pastel, acrylic, and shown her my soft pastels.

@Dima-Eichhorn I love it! Beautiful design and shading but wasn’t it meant to be fully black and white?

Hi! I'm Scharon, here is my version of the Ink Fairy. I am not a student at SVS (though I hope to be in the near future) but was so inspired by the contest that I decided to share my sketch. I figured the Ink Fairy probably needs some life-experience if she's gonna protect ink and bring creativity to all, that's why she's old, for wisdom you know :))

Lovsey · 11 Sept 2020, 07:06

Hi @Scharon! I love your take on the ink fairy concept, especially that she is elderly and part bird - amazing. Is that a ferret she is riding? So cute!

Scharon · 11 Sept 2020, 16:00

@Lovsey awh thank you for your kind words! Yes, it's a ferret! I figured, why not haha

chrisaakins · 11 Sept 2020, 19:15

Not first but one of the first.
Ellie was hoping for a good shot but the ink fairy got one instead. Hehehe.

Coley · 11 Sept 2020, 22:30

@chrisaakins hahaha, this is funny

“Today was the day, she just KNEW it. Today, Ellie would finally snap a photo of an ink fairy.“

I intially choose to go with a first person perspective of the moment when the ink fairy was finally coaxed out.

i really do have to give a shout-out to those who gave me some good insight and support. *******Thanks @ambiirae @Jeremy-Ross @carolinebautista @Julia @Coley *******
