I added some more detail to this autumn fae creature 🍂

[marked sensitive for direct eye contact, and maybe more bare skin than some want to pop up on their feeds!]

A pencil drawing of a fairy-type being, resembling a young woman with a long mess of stringy hair, caught up in a pair of tree branches emerging from her head like antlers. She has large insectoid wings on her back, which resemble decayed leaves of which only the veins remain. The skin of her hands and feet resemble something like tree bark. She's wearing nothing for clothing, except for scattered leaves covering her bust and lower body. She's seated on the ground, her legs crossed and knees up in front of her, with her head tilting to one side as she looks at the viewer with a suspicious little grin.

Drawing the autumn fae again. The original (upthread) was just a one-off with mostly-random-but-intentionally-cool design elements... but when redrawing her, I was forced to consider how those elements come about and how they behave... which leads to full-blown personality and character background.

And then I kept going and developed the other 3 seasonal fae But this is all I've got drawn so far, gotta wait to see what more I can muster

[Lightly-clothed female]

A photo of a sketchbook page on which I've made a pencil drawing of a fairie-like fae creature. She resembles a human woman, rather skinny, with horns/antlers on her head resembling gnarled, dead tree limbs, in which her long tangled hair is caught in places. Tree leaves are strewn among them, as well as covering her breasts and hips/pelvis. The drawing is unfinished, with rough lines defining her wings and legs. She is standing and looking at the viewer with a tired, disinterested expression, though one hand is raised menacingly toward us as if to grab or to cast a spell.
