Silver Summer postcard
Autumn Silver Postage Stamps


Second entry to Dianae 's Gods, Goddesses and Mythology contest .
First was Waterborn :thumb80762864: and this has a similar theme... a series? Also has little dragons, for those who look closely. AND YOU MUST LOOK CLOSELY> FULLVIEW PLEASE

Closer look at the Silverspringsummer sylph flynn-the-cat.deviantart.com/a…
(I am actually really pleased with the eyes. I think they look alive ^_^)
This picture flynn-the-cat.deviantart.com/a… is also from Fall, slightly edited.
:thumb83828864:



This began as one figure reaching out to the other as they fell, but it changed...
The autumn figure was the focus for most of the ime I was working on it, mainly because I left the faces until last, and when I added the background she blended more...

Concept... Forest spirits, leafchildren, nature guardians, embodiments of the seasons...

Green growth turns brown
and falls among the thorns,
broken, and yet glorious.
As she dissolves into dry dead leaves,
and soars down, spiraling,
on broken branch wings.
Separate and the same,
as one becomes the other,
yet both coexist, melding to their sister-self.
Spring-summer lingers,
fresh and calm, yet to fall...
Untroubled, by an ageless cycle, she will reform..
but there is youth and joy,
because after all,
she's only a season old.
slightly more coherent poem - Death in Autumn


ArtRage 2.4 and tablet.

I love how this almost looks like it is a watercolor and ink painting. Wish you had done it that way, and hung it up in a gallery somewhere for me to see up close and personal~
because it really is very beautiful.

Thank you. That was intentional - also one of the first successful faces I've painted , so I'm delighted to hear that.

EmbraceTheInsane [2008-05-27 17:40:14 +0000 UTC]

Wow this is really intriguing! At first glance I thought it was an abstract piece and I loved it. Upon full view I was able to see the detail and loved it even more!
All the colours compliment each other so well.
The softness of the whole thing really makes it inviting!

Thank you! I was trying for something more subtle this time and I didn't want it to 'just' be a fantasy figure piece, I'm really glad you liked it as both ^_^

Cado [2008-05-05 19:25:22 +0000 UTC]

I like this a lot; the play between smudge/blurry and the sharp points are interesting. The title fits perfectly, I get a "fall" feel from all the colours easily.

The title's a pun actually - autumn, and 'the fall of...'
