Description ::Embrace me my little one.
::You´re my child, my precious.
::I gave life to your body, you went away.
::Now come back to me and let us be one again.
::Share your memories with me.
::You´re my little one.







Finally finished this picture.
I painted the first version 5 years ago. Now that I´m good enough with Illustrator and Photoshop I could color it.


Cause of the age of this picture I made it a mix of my old and new style. The eyes are still big but the other features are new.



Lineart with fineliner, edited in Illustrator and painted in Photoshop.
ca. 4 hours because my mouse got stuck sometimes

The Sea-Child

Into the world you sent her, mother,
Fashioned her body of coral and foam,
Combed a wave in her hair's warm smother,
And drove her away from home

In the dark of the night she crept to the town
And under a doorway she laid her down,
The little blue child in the foam-fringed gown.

And never a sister and never a brother
To hear her call, to answer her cry.
Her face shone out from her hair's warm smother
Like a moonkin up in the sky.

She sold her corals; she sold her foam;
Her rainbow heart like a singing shell
Broke in her body: she crept back home.

Peace, go back to the world, my daughter,
Daughter, go back to the darkling land;
There is nothing here but sad sea water,
And a handful of sifting sand.


- Katherine Mansfield
