character design commission for Hypothermya over on patreon! here we have Sabine (fae/faer) the Sairdonín fae-demon just chillin' in a less mortal form.
Sabine usually mimics a wolf or a human and likes things that are full of the subtle chaos of life. I mainly designed around the description that if fae saw a glass of filtered lake water, fae would knock it off the table like a sassy cat since it would lack the life and interest that it should.
I wanted the fur to look like a collection of all the neat fur colors fae've seen on passing wolves. The hair is the same. It looks dark from far away but gives off a subtle rainbow sheen like a puddle of oil, and up close you can see individual hairs of all different colors and textures. I figure fae can shift into one particular hair type if fae want, but why have one when you can have a lovely selection? I almost gave faer skin some vitiligo-type patches to keep with the theme but decided on a peachy brown with slightly darkened points that would keep faer human form's race vague.
This was a really fun character prompt to do. It was kind of like designing a REMwolf, which I'm always a fan of drawing. Also I added the plain sketch because I just think it's neat.
