A long afternoon in the beach, you are tiered, your skin feels the salty water and the hot sun... still, its getting colder as the sun sets and the light fades.

You and your friend head back to the big fairy palace at the shore. You take a warm bath and flies through the big curvy halls until you find a tall common space where many other fairies feed themselves everything they like. You treat yourself some grapes and chocolate squares... with them you head to one of the big balconies, where the entire floor is covered in soft pillows.

The balcony is all yours, so your wings slowly stop and you lay down on the pillows, where you can read a book you just found.

It's once again another day at the fairy beach palace, you feel happy with the warmth of the palace's torches, as the warmth of the sun is none. You are comfortable.

 

This one is very special.

I usually don't like to write about the things I'd prefer to show. But this one is an exception, I don't think I managed to tell that feeling in the image above, as I coulnd't finish it. I started it with a lot of commitment, and started planning... Things just didn't happened as I wanted. I had some family problems, I unfortunatelly had very agressive days taking care of my dear friend Pingo, my dog. He was very I'll and we had to take most of our time taking care of him, I had no money to help, but after I requested help on social media something special happened: Many artist friends donated a good amount of money. It really brought me to tears, I didn't felt so powerless anymore. Unfortunatelly we couln't do much to help Pingo. We had to say goodbye.

Overlaping this we also had problems with my grandma, she was too sick. It was probably harder, we had to admit her. After losing our good friend this was very stressful. Very thankfull she is fine right now, we are taking care of her and she is going to be okay!

 

Honestly I was thinking If I could post this text, In a way this is the first time I'm allowing myself to think about these stressful months again, I feel like talking to myself. I never had anything like this in my life.

I really wanted to be out there and meeting more artists from other countries and international, yes. And obviously I didn't finished my project, but all these feelings are in It. I love my family so much, and would love to share this story with the THU team. My art has always been about what I lived, this story and the Fairy beach palace comes from a childhood full of beach days... with my family!

 

I'd like to thank you for reading both my stories.

This is the where the project ended.

3D render + the begin of a 2D painting on top of it. It almost makes me wanna finish it!

This was created in july 9th.

Trying 3D for real this time. It was a chaos, I'm a begginer to 3D modeling, but I pushed it as far as I could. Very excited about the future of this new part of my art.

This was created in July 8th.

This was specially fun, I was trying to add a new skill to my process. Putting some pieces and shapes together and making structures from these shapes. It is definatelly something I'm getting back to in the future, a lot more to enjoy there.

I wanted to our main fairy to be quiet on it's own conner, but I'd love to have more, going about their buisness and flying around in the background. I really wanted to take a bit more time thinking about their design, I needed them to have an extra attention.

This was created in June 10th.

I'm very picky about color and light, I usually like to take some extra time planning it. I would be working on this piece for a few weeks until its done, I needed to be happy with the mood!

This was created in June 10th.

Simply was organizing the tone of the project. How bright and dark and how warm and cold things were supposed to be, simple composition.

This was made in June 6th.

These are the first sketches for the relaxing concept I was trying to come up!

Magical delicacy usually reminds me of something very comfortable and beautiful, I mixed that with the slow sunset of a tiring beach day. Our fairy would be very comfortable, lying on a soft surface, in a warm ambient, reading a book and giving itself a snack.
