The carnivorous sundew fairy
@ paperclip: When I started this painting I wanted several insects flying around but when TCSF took so much space I abandoned this idea. Then the previous small fairy started to bother me, it just didnt fit in.
The new fairy brought this bumblebee along and made it a much more adventurous scene I think shes here to stay 
Next CGchallenge? Well who knows? ( Ill be watching you anyway
)
Theresa, thanks for your nice words. Have lots of fun in Rome!
@enialadam: Thank you. It was fun to watch your fairytale paintings too, Snow whites my fav.
@sh@ke: Thanks Michael, ( if I only could have a little bit of your speed & talent
)
@slickgreekgeo & @ thisly: Thanks a lot, Im glad you like it
@se7enthcin: Thanks for your comment Andrew, Ill finish this painting for sure.
Ive painted another mouth ( as some of you suggested… ) but Im not sure if this new mouth is a better choice
Old:

New: in anticipation…biting her lip, eager to devour her prey

@ Gitte, I thought the new mouth looked a bit silly when you see the whole painting, I’m not sure yet …

I really like that bee and small fairy. Very well done sir,
you are doing well :arteest:
No, I think it looks good - it interacts perfectly with the elastic feeling of the green thingy she’s holding between her fingers. Just perfect !
The bee - I wouldn’t make it blue unless you count on introducing blue in other areas too. If not I would make it more redbrown to make it fit more with the red areas of the image. I would also just brighten a slight bit what is supposed to be the white of her eyes. Just a slight bit brighter green than the skin tone.
i think the new mouth fits alot better and i love the teeth lol… but maybe something more of a smirk would fit even more? perhaps lower one eyebrow slightly shrug… where the fingers are gripping the string i think you should darken the strring a bit, just slightly darker to show the shadow of the fingers… >.>
also while i’m enjoying the new fairy both her and the old one had a severe lack of sundew tenticles involved and this one have more of a yellow tinge to her than TCSF… and i’d have to agree with Photographer on the blue bee… unless you intend on adding more blue to the rest of the pictures then it really does ditract, it stands out and makes itself the focus when it isn’t.
anyway keep it comin!
Maybe some value on those fingers, would make the fingers seem more rounded, and give it depth, seems a bit flat, right now, looks really good though, good luck with finishing!
Absolutely stunning progress Emile, I love the new lips! My only suggestion at the moment is that the skin looks like it could use a little more moisture to it - it just looks a little too dry and crackly at the moment, like its all about to flake off ^^ - perhaps a little shine or dewdrops? anyway, just watching in awe…everytime I start to think I’m getting better
hehe!
well arty, I really think like you, the new mouth is a great idea and when you look at it from a very close spot it doesn’t bother me at all, but if I stare at the whole painting, there is some annoying thing about her face that I can’t pinpoint.She seems to be sillier than evil.
Anyway it’s a great great job, and I really look forward to see the end of his beautifull piece of art
cheers
