Description Peone the Fae child of the Tuatha Dé Danann

In Irish-Celtic mythology, the Tuatha Dé Danann ("People of the goddess Danu") are the Irish race of gods, founded by the goddess Danu. These gods, who originally lived on 'the islands in the west', had perfected the use of magic. They traveled on a big cloud to the land that later would be called Ireland and settled there.

Shortly after their arrival they defeated the Firbolg at the first battle of Mag Tuireadh. In the second battle of Mag Tuireadh they fought and conquered the Fomorians, a race of giants who were the primordial inhabitants of Ireland. The Tuatha Dé dealt more subtly with the Fomorians than with the Firbolg, and gave them the province of Connacht. There was also some marrying between the two races.

The Tuatha Dé themselves were later driven to the underworld by the Milesians, the people of the fabulous spanish king Milesius. There they still live as invisible beings and are known as the Aes sidhe. In a just battle, they will fight beside mortals. When they fight, they go armed with lances of blue flame and shields of pure white.

Important members are of the Tuatha Dé are: Dagda, Brigid, Nuada, Lugh, Dian Cecht, Ogma, and Lir. The goddess Danu can also be identified with the Welsh goddess Don.

I was working on this at the same time I was doing the collab, so I decided to wait and submit it.
Will make this a print, hopefully

pretty, i love the green vibes its a bright picture though i think it has a dark undertone for some reason O.o I had to talk about Irish legends and stuff last year and the Tuatha Dé Danann was part of it i told a whole diff thing though O.o i thought they were halflings and were afraid of water or something well i dunno anymore, tossed the papers away once i was done with it 0

wonderful lights and shadows i adore the green grass and the stones..but why the girl has so much blur on her?:/

aragwen In reply to VictoriaAsh [2004-10-05 21:50:53 +0000 UTC]

Define "too much blur" If you are meaning her illumination, it is because she is Fae, and should shine brighter than a normal person and look slighty euphoric. She doesnt look too blurry at all to me. Maybe you need to adjust your monitor settings?

VictoriaAsh In reply to aragwen [2004-10-05 21:59:34 +0000 UTC]

my monitor colors and light are great but blur and lights are so different to each other.and i dont mean her illumination..i mean her belt for example. i believe that something missing.

I'd say if any picture you've done was to show just how far you've developed as an artist, it would be this one. Seemless merger, excellent color blend from subject to background and an overall soft fantasy feel to it. Deffinatly A+ work. As well as a fav.

Amazing!! Y'know, coincidentally, I just did a piece very similar to this... though mine's nowhere near as beautiful as yours.

I don't think there's much that I can say about this piece that everyone else hasn't said already... so let's just say I agree with all the best comments yu've recieved and allow me to thank you for sharing such a wonderful piece of artwork.

Amazing work! It's nice to see something other than the usual textured gothic faces, something with a heart. It shows that you care a lot about details.

I'll certainly be watching you.
