Had a chance over the winter break to pick up on my old "Fairies of Osh" story idea. Fairies of Osh was suppose to be a tale about a village of warrior fairies who train and sell themselves out as stealthy assassins-for-hire in a medieval fantasy world.It was a personal attempt to create the "dark fairy", as with elves and their dark counterparts. As a strictly technical artist back then, I wasn't able to capture that imagery, but I think I might finally be able to pull it into fruition now; though I feel my artistic talent is still pretty limited, I'm eager to see how it plays out.Now a little about the piece, I'm hoping to ink and maybe even colour it once I have time. Shown here is a clandestine fairy rogue performing the preferred Osh technique of assassination, covertly stabbing a poisoned blade of their double spear deep into the ears of their unsuspecting human targets. Most likely while they're asleep or resting.I changed up and added to the Osh fairy outfit shown in my earlier works. The shoulder guards are removed (it looks skimpier and I realize that shoulders guards were redundant on a fairy) and generally show more skin and body form rather than have them wrapped up like a mummy. The poison blade is seen grooved like a calligraphy pen nib allowing it to retain the liquid toxin. The other side blade does not have this, as my idea was to have the poison applied by brush lined scabbard (not seen here) and have two scabbards would had seem impractical.You might be asking how she evades detection seeing how her wings would had flapped onto her target's head. I realize that this would be a problem, so I assume that the fairies of Osh have the ability to magically hover without flapping wings, perhaps through enchanted armour.I appreciate any comments and suggestions, thank you for taking the time to view this
