;; Rosy Maple Fairy!
Hey there! It's been so long... Too many things have happened that kinda got in the way of art :'c.But after all this time, I finally managed to finish my submission for this challenge (yeah, rlly late)!

@chriSpy3 challenges are always so creative! I was really excited to join in, I loooove fairies and worldbuilding <33Well, I said: why should fairies alWaYs be based off butterflies? I've had this idea for a long time, and this challenge gave me a chance to put it to good use ewe.
So my fairy oc is inspired by a moth; the rosy maple moth! I think that she might come from a line of humanoid fairies which sorta evolved (¿ from moths fairies instead of butterflies.
I haven't come up with a name for her, but I like her concept quite a lot so I've already made up some headcanons hhjskhsl. Here are some facts about her:
- As you can see, she has a lot of hair, just like the real moths! In case you didn't notice it already, it reaches her lower back. They really are pure fluff, that's why all her outfits are full of fur (hope you'll see it in future drawings)
- She loves to strike great poses for the camera! (the real thingy always seems to be posing, it's so sweet)
- She is cute, lovely, and super cheerful -though a little shy too-. She is very cheesy & gushy with her loved ones. She likes to barge into human houses and hang around lamps.
- She has a boyfriend (based on a ridiculously goth moth called Haploa Clymene) who probably has the biggest pokerface in the world (reason: I saw a meme with those two and the lyrics of skater boi and now I cannot unsee it xD)
- She looooves her deadpan boyfriend. And lamps. Oh-so-great shiny human things
. - Although this time I gave her very flashy clothes, she can pull off any shade of pink and yellow! She loves pastels too!
- Her antennas move according to her emotions <3
- She enjoys living in the kingdom very much! She is friendly with everyone, but she loves the lil guy Terry (@Stirsen 's oc <3 if u don't mind ofc) the most! Being such a tiny cutie moth, she can't help but treat him like a little kid of her kind.
The pose reference I used belongs to this deviantart account <3: https://www.deviantart.com/faestock/art/Laurel-Sitting-pose-reference-27-514622227
If you have reached this far, please say something about the insane amount of hair I had to draw, it took me a lifetime to finish this artwork F
