Description
This new gothic style fairy is based around a theme of roses and thorns. Beauty and pain. The fairy is draw to the beauty of the flowers. Like a drug they entice her, but the thorns scratch and her sadness remains.
Or of course you might think it means something entirely different
That's the great thing about fantasy art, it can mean whatever the viewer wants it to
I used a photo of the lovely *faestock as reference when painting the figure. I hope she comes back and posts photos on DA again soon. They have been a great source of inspiration to many people, and are always a pleasure to look through.

Ohmigosh. This is the painting that I had a poster of above my bed at uni. It was such an inspiration to me, especially when I was going through a rough patch. I always saw it the entirely opposite view - no matter the pain and scratches from the thorns in life, there is still beauty to be found. That's how I always saw it, anyway.
