Description Yessss finished...after hours and hours XD
The Aquarell from the Raven Goddess Sketch for    T_T I hope you like it...it looks nothing like the sketch but was in my head like this for a long time.
Water colors are quiet a challenge but its such a great medium

The Raven has appeared in the mythology of many ancient people. Some of the more common stories are from those of Greek, Celtic, Norse, Pacific Northwest, and Roman mythology.
French anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauß proposed a structuralist theory that suggests the raven (like the coyote) obtained mythic status because it was a mediator animal between life and death. As a carrion bird, ravens became associated with the dead and with lost souls. In Sweden they are known as the ghosts of murdered persons.


..............................
And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

Edgar Allen Poe

Why thank you <3 <3 <3
I enjoyed working on this one. You are very good with watercolours yourself. Do you use watercolour pencils or do you prefer to work with like a pallet and colours?

I use both but I think I prefer the pallet! watercolor pencils are great but it's veeeeery long to draw with it! (from my personal opinion)

Hurrah!!! oh my, this is wonderful! Thank you so much!!  I love her finely realised features (especially her sexy green eyes!) and with those pesky ravens Hugin and Munin added its even more brilliant! awesome details on her dress too! it must be haute couture surely? nothing but the best for this goddess . This in my humble opinion is your finest work to date!  Maybe you have found your best medium in water colours? Have a feather for your troubles actually make that 2!

ElyaneDragondream In reply to PhilipHarvey [2014-03-05 19:17:05 +0000 UTC]

Hurray!!!!   you like it. And yay for the right eye colour XD I think I like to draw birds
Yes its a Karl Lagerfeld exclusiv one and called "The black Queen" ^^ I think I spend the most time on how to choose and mix the colours but it was so much fun. Yes I think maybe watercolour/Acrylics are my No 1 tools of the trade.
And thanks for the feathers

PhilipHarvey In reply to ElyaneDragondream [2014-03-05 19:39:59 +0000 UTC]

I like it very much!    Though methinks the black raven has his beady eye (which has a look of great mischief btw! ) on her shiny dress beads! I don't think Karl thought about pesky ravens when designing this dress! Perhaps he should stand guard and shoo them away with his fan? Though I don't think they'll be too scared somehow
As for mixing the colours I think that process will get faster the more you do it, practice makes perfect so they say! or Uses promptos facit if you prefer Latin.. oh and don't be impressed with my Latin skills..  I googled it

ElyaneDragondream In reply to PhilipHarvey [2014-03-05 19:52:37 +0000 UTC]

...with his fan right ^^ maybe with little arrows inside "Stay away from my dress you crow...!"    * "crow" eats Lagerfeld*
Well I will practise a lot more with watercolours the only problem is that I am often away from home and you can't bring all your drawing stuff with you every time ^^

PhilipHarvey In reply to ElyaneDragondream [2014-03-05 20:37:39 +0000 UTC]

Well maybe if his fans don't work he can always cut them down to size with a cutting remark or mean comment, he can be quite the meanie when he wants, ravens beware! You can get dinky little mini watercolour sets now with teeny tiny little pads, so you have "non apponis excusat" !!! get to it!

A word or a cut? paper cuts can be very nasty!   Also watch out for sticks and stones, but words will never hurt you!
