Description the 'melissa' names similar to my girlfriend, 'mey lisa'
its a coincident though... (some people say, nothing is coincident??)

oh the 'myth of melissa's credit goes to [link]

its poster color on linen paper

i've edited this. so now its clear from the fonts. (pic only).... i feel it seems a little empty though........ *swt
heres the myth:

melissa

The priestesses of historical descendents of the ancient Bee Goddess -- Demeter, Rhea, Cyble -- were called Melissae, the ancient Latin word for bees. The Bible mentions a ruler and prophetess of ancient Israel called Deborah, the "Queen Bee", her priestesses were known as Deborahs as well. Some say that the priestesses of the moon goddess were called bees because 'it was believed that all honey came from the moon, the hive whose bees were the stars.' Melissa, the goddess as Queen Bee, taught mortals how to ferment honey into mead. In the Homeric Hymn to Hermes, the Melissai feed on honey and are inspired "to speak the truth". These traditions made the omphalos the place of sacred utterance -- the oracular power associated with the buzzing of bees and the buzzing vibration of life. . . . .

wow, you really are ma terror on poster! i love how this is coloured and the story that goes with it. by the way, what is the special property of linen? like, how does it fare when you use it to colour with poster?
great design on girl, wish she could be larger. can you please make the size of this larger

kokecit In reply to darkn2ght [2008-07-28 06:12:45 +0000 UTC]

err.. im sorry about my bad english,
what "special property" means? and "fare" too... in dictionary 'fareenumpang/passenger, makanan/food.'

hmm... its about the paper, isn't it? in indonesia linen paper is rather thick paper with texture on it, i've tried it with only two media, pencil color and poster color, i think its best to use with poster color, the water absorbing and the dry-ing time is good (not so fast like the usual watercolor paper) and it strong enough to take any repair, i mean many strokes on it and the paper still haven't destroyed.
i know that the real watercolor technique don't need too many stroke like oil painting. its just i made a lot of mistake so it ended like that.

oops, sorry, special property=special characterisic, fare=how does it perform. but don't worry., you answered the questions alraedy no, nothing wrong with your english. i think it's just me coz i was commenting on my amaerican friend's piece before yours and my english sort of got affected by hers...
