This illustration was lots of fun to do. As a young kid, I loved watching Fantasia when it came to the movie theater. One of my favorite segments is the Nutcracker Suite which featured both fantasy and elemental creatures in it.
I knew I wanted to create a fire elemental type of fey, so I thought to why not a sprite? It was a fun to design the flames as her hair and along the wings in order to give her the look that said she was in command of fire. The background I did was to help convey the idea that she was perhaps on the rim of a volcano. This fire sprite turned out to be a fun exercise in analogous color.
