[Art/Wildspeak] Karijiana in Spring

[moonvoice]

I loved, and then hated, and then loved this picture again in turns. It's one of those pictures that, until the last ten minutes of colouring, I didn't even know if it would all come together the way I wanted it to. And then hey presto, here She is. :) It's fair to say that I've never really done anything like this before.

This is one of the softer (and one of my favourite) incarnations of Karijiana, as a gentle, sensual, seductive Spring goddess, who with each step gives birth to butterflies and flowers all in the name of the love she carries for every living thing.

She, and all the butterflies, are outlined in gold paint - which of course you can't see in the scan. But later I'll take a photo so you can see the gold paint in full.





This was hard work! Lol. I mean all my pictures are, but those little stupid flowers! ARGH. Heh. :)

It just stuns me that you can create this in a matter of days. The detail!!

fucking christ...

You know. Amazing is one thing.

Touching the Divine like that.... Is like more than amazing.

You can almost smell the flowers. It's so colourful!

[darakat-ewr.livejournal.com]

That color is fucking awesome! The butterfly in the hair at the top of her head especially, you have once again out done yourself, this is really good!

wow I bet the reality of the gold paint is even better than this, and that is awesome enough in it's self.

I know it's a portrait of a deity, and a beautiful deity, and it's a gorgeous piece of art. However, I can totally see this being used as an album cover by a retro band. Maybe even Cheryl Crow. It's got such a wonderful blend of Art Deco/Nouveau and 60's to it...

I love the sun, I love the flowers, I love Her hair, the gold swirling outlines, and especially the butterflies. She's simply Divine.

Pretty pretty pretty. But additionaly, your description of Karijiana catches my interest....and then I go to Wildspeak and properly read her entry.

Yes. Karijiana is a goddess I like rather much indeed. Perhaps I'll slowly slide into the habit of giving her a tolere or two from time to time--I'm not stingy with them for Hrum and L'yuvotn'r, after all.

The crowning butterflies like stained glass and the rest of it like an illuminated manuscript - I bet with the gold paint even more so.

Superb!

[azhure.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous. :)

[dibeartach.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.
In a way she looks slightly Buddhist, I think it's the eyes looking similar to their famous style. Plus I love the colour of her hair, it gives her a look of age we well as renewal. Great stuff, I always love your art :-)
