[Art] Wandsuna - Engaging

[moonvoice]

I have been mentioning this pastel project that I've been working on for some time and I finished it today! Yay! I had so much fun with it.

It will be the cover for the absolutely awesome up-coming book by Immanion Press (under the name Megalithica Books); called Engaging the Spirit World: Shamanism, Totemism and Other Animistic Practices, edited by the awesome lupabitch. I also have an essay in the anthology as well, woot!

Wandsuna - Engaging







I heart pastels. The hardest part of this picture was, surprisingly, the trees in the background. Probably because it was a repetitive colour scheme designed not to detract away from the title of the book and the editor / etc. That said, I really like the finished product, and even got away with my 'frames within frames' that I tend to do in my Wandsuna series.



Centre detail.



Pastels on a standard Mi Tientes sheet. No coloured pencils, and very little fixative (only in the centre circle, so I could add additional highlights to the fox, and get the detail in the figure's costume that I wanted to get).

Hope you enjoy the finished product as much as I enjoyed making it!
