We will be careful. We will be kind. We will be Never fairies at our best. - These are the words Queen Clarion recites whenever a new quest to save Neverland begins

2025 marked 20 years since the Quest for the Egg happened. Disney Fairies was a series that made my childhood and inspired me in many ways. It's something I love going back to, and I intend to continue this (take it or leave it 💅✨)

To honor being a Pixie Hollow (or Fairy Haven) fan for past two decades, I redrew my very old fan art for Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg. I was meant to finish this new version back in September, but I went through an art block and instead was drawing other things

For slightly better context, at the end I'm featuring some of the book's illustrations that were my moodboard for this drawing. Long story short: A dangerous hurricane destroys Mother Dove's egg, source of Neverland's magic; three fairies are then chosen to go on a quest to optain three treasures for the evil dragon, in exchange for his flame, the only thing able to restore the egg and prevent Neverland from disappearing forever

Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg was written by Gail Carson Levine and illustrated by David Christiana

To everyone involved in creation of Disney Fairies, thank you so much for bringing the world and characters I loved for so many years. Thank you especially for creating Rani 💖

Iridessa: What is Silvermist doing here?!

Vidia: I’m pretty sure she dropped by to see us…

Iridessa: Who “drops by”?! You talk, you make a plan, you set it up weeks in advance, and cancel three times!

Week 8: Lost Things

There's probably one fairy who's not particularly fond of lost things

Illustration based on a scene from "Fairy Haven and the Quest for the Wand" by Gail Carson Levine (with the magazine and movie color variants for Queen Clarion)

Context: The fairies go on a quest to get a wand for the mermaid that threatens to flood their land. The wand is sentient and causes everyone mad with greed. It has to be asleep in order to be used by fairies (or the mermaid) but then the spells are irreversible. Vidia steals the wand and makes a wish that ruins her. To get the wand back, Queen Clarion lies to her that she can reverse her wish once the mermaid gets it. Vidia finds out the truth and is pissed.

I picked this moment just because. It has unusual VidiaxClarion dynamic. Before the wand madness the Queen has never lied to anyone, abused their trust or had malicious thought. Vidia, on the other hand, the fairy who was loyal to no one, felt betrayed. The whole story shows how greed brings out the worst in people when they're lost in it, but I picked just one bit of it. There's obviously more to it with Tinker Bell, the mermaids etc and how the wand influenced them.

I feel like early Vidia works well as an antithesis of Queen Clarion, especially when you have one leave a trail of poisonous toadstools, while other having a dress made of vines (maybe Ree could even leave a trail of flowers as a Fairy Queen?)

Vidia based on the early concept (back then named Invidia)

What if: Vidia was a villain?

Inspired by the early concept where she was a dark fairy named Invidia

Omg, I don’t draw Disney Fairies enough and it shows, as I never post anything here! :O
