Description
This is my entry to the Greek Goddess contest held byI started working on this about a week ago...
And yeah, it took me many many hours T_T' But I had quite a bit of fun playing around with colours. I've always loved rainbows very much! xD
Iris is the Goddess of the Rainbow, and a messenger between the human and gods' worlds... No photos or direct copying from pictures were used, but I did gather a few ideas from the net, since I hadn't heard of her before...
---
:: Details Explained::
- her necklace consists of a sun and the surrounding blue droplet things are raindrops, because you need sun and rain to make a rainbow
- same reasons apply for the weather in the sky
- the flowers are iris flowers (in case you cannot tell); there are so many pretty varieties of iris but I decided on the little white ones because if I put ultra-pretty colourful ones they'd be a bit distracting. ^^'

I actually didn't win the contest - I didn't even get an "honourable mention" or whatever that thing was called. But that's okay. This picture looks okay, but I don't think it was catchy enough for the contest ^^' I will try harder next time! X)
It was drawn in SAI, by the way. ^o^v

I like yours too! >< Iris is supposed to travel on a rainbow but I wasn't able to incorporate that into my picture like you did xD And your clothes are so much more realistic-to-the-time-period than mine... which are just my brain vomiting out random patterns that don't make sense lol xD
