Escape

Entry for the Science Fiction-Fantasy Fusion Contest at

Yet another contest! I should really stop doing so many contests so I can get other stuff done...

So the theme of this contest was, basically, take fantasy and science-fiction and smush them together somehow. Fairies escaping from robots seemed to fit the bill!

Actually, I was sort of inspired by Ariel in the Tempest (Shakespeare, yeah, that Tempest...) I thought about Ariel being trapped in a tree for eons before finally being released, and thought "What if it wasn't a tree? What if there was a fairy trapped in a machine for centuries?" And took it from there... Somehow it turned out all metaphorical, or something. Could mean a lot of things (or nothing at all.)

(Could be just an excuse to draw fairies and robots...)

(I'll post the sketches and WIPs for this on my blog soon...)
