This is Meline Emelite, the Lamaniloran Sprite. She is five inches tall, and the picture shows her next to one of the chief plants of the cave country Lamanilora (meaning, incidentally, "Light Cave"). The flowers begin to glow just before the brilliant "dawn" for which the place is named.

I must admit Meline laughed at me when she saw this attempted portrayal. Although it for the most part captures her features, the expression on the face quite misrepresents her character. To look at this one would think her calm, serene and almost shy. To be accurate, the picture would have to show her almost constant expression of gleeful, mischievous laughter. Now that I've said this, of course, Meline will complain that I've given her away and ruined her chance to catch people unawares and thereby cause all forms of joking trouble. And to that I will reply that I am merely presenting her with a challenge slightly more suited to her level of talent. :-D

For some time now Meline (along with her friends, Laral and Larel Larlaralel, the Echo Twins of Lamanilora) has been staying with me on an extended visit. It has been during the course of this visit that we have formed The Alliance of the (Mostly) Fanciful, which exists primarily to present a joking and playful resistance to those on the Tales of the Questor [link] , Goblin Hollow/Under the Lemon Tree [link] , and Nip and Tuck [link] forums whom we have entitled the Great and Terrifying Global and/or Universal Destruction Group, or GTGa/oUDG.

The drawing is largely pencil/colored pencil, with the exception of the wings, which were done in Macromedia Fireworks, and her skin/face, which, though colored with pencil, was smoothed out and fiddled with a bit in the same program.

Okay, I'm new at this, and I made some mistakes in the artist comments box. Can anyone tell me how to get back and edit them?
You should have a link here saying "edit deviation"

click that, choose "edit title, description and keywords" and then make your changes.

And welcome to DA wayfarer ^^

You did a good job on this drawing. I don't know a lot about fairies, but I especially like the vines and the flowers in the background. :-)
He, he! I don't know a lot about fairies, either. :D
But anyway, thanks! :thanks:
Yes, I agree with youufox, nice job. Question though... how would it look with the background black? Only reason I am saying this is becuse you mentioned the flowers glowed before dawn. :)

Hehehe! Thanks. And if it makes you feel any better, I never did think you were suggesting I redo/change the original drawing; the computer was my first thought.
'Course, I'm not sure I'd be able to pull something like that off, but it is a neat idea. :)
I like the drawing. She's pretty. You want to think about making it smaller though.
