[Art] Blast from the past - Vavale; cosmic creatrix.

[moonvoice]

I was digging through some really old artwork (looking for somethign else entirely) and I found an illustration of Vavale as Cosmic Creatrix, way before my style was fully established. So probably from about 7 or 8 years ago, when I was still only working in regular ink, coloured pencil, and cartridge paper.

Oh wow! This is fascinating! I like how much white space there is in this picture. Somehow it makes the red really stand out.

[moonvoice]

Yeah, I wish I could say that was deliberate, but I used a lot of white space back in the day. I didn't like to abuse cartridge paper!

Understandable...

I can absolutely see how your current abilities evolved from works like this. Love the sun-sky-earth themes of this piece. It's very simplicity (relatively speaking) really speaks to me.

While I don't see a sun in there, I think it's awesome that you do. :D It was weird finding it, I had completely forgotten that I'd done it at all.

*stares at it for ages*

Gods, there is so much power in this image.

I'm thinking about putting it up, actually. I have a Vavale alter, but it needs some more work. I am thinking this is what it needs.

This is a fascinating piece. Not your fully evolved style, certainly, but definitely showing the signs,, and it actually reminds me strongly of some of our traditional Aboriginal artworks here, though of course it's not similarly stylistically. (It's the power and sense of movement in the piece.)

[moonvoice]

It might remind you of more traditional artworks since it's got quite a few Vilturj glyphs in it (the red ones in particular are specific to Vavale, but the three hands on her shoulders are Vilturj glyphs as well.

Even for being that old, it's an incredible piece with a lot of vivid energy.

[moonvoice]

Thank you. :)

That really is nice...not only vividly energetic as Lupa said, but it conveys incredible motion. Even quartered, the circular image has a spinning sensation to it!

[moonvoice]

Thank you! :)

I love the swirly blue things, and the tree-root-like nature of her robe. It's lovely.

[moonvoice]

Thank you. :)

This is primordial in its starkness, and powerful. I keep staring at it.

I do really like seeing your older works and how they're both similar and different to your style now. I like how much white space you used to have, but I also like how detailed and complex your work is now.

I like that I can both see how far you've come, and still see your style, talent and (for lack of better words, sorry) spiritual power and energy coming through this piece.
