Hey guys!

It's been a while since I've uploaded anything that wasn't for a contest/commission of some sort, so this is certainly a breath of fresh air.

Those of you who have been with me for a while know that this is Jackal, the wingless fairy. He's a character of mine that I've enjoyed drawing on and off since about 2005, and he's one of my favorites.

Not so long ago, I tried to redesign him to make him look more natural and woodsy (he's a fairy, after all). The result can be seen here: [link]

It was a comment on that very piece by :iconartoveli:, however, that made me realize I was taking away the one true thing Jackal held above all of the other fairies you'll see on the internet, in books, and elsewhere: his uniqueness. The comment was:

"Personally I thought the idea of a fairy in an orange jumpsuit was really funny and original, though. That's just me!"

It opened my eyes and also helped me see the reason why I haven't truly enjoyed drawing this character ever since I started trying something different with him. So, I simply must thank you, :iconartoveli:. You helped me find Jackal again!

I added some details in his hat and jumpsuit just to make him a bit more interesting, but it's still fundamentally the same Jackal he's always been.

Please FULL VIEW and enjoy!

Adobe Illustrator CS, about 3 hours of work including the sketch in Photoshop CS.

The Chamodra (which is that Chameleon thing) is a staple of the idea, so I do intend to keep it. ;D

Thanks a lot! You know me. I'm always looking for an excuse to put someone in a jumpsuit.

No problem! You really helped me out of a rut with Jackal, and I greatly appreciate it.
