Description
Lady Gaia, the soul of our planet, is a character that I like to play with in my art as well as imagination. There really is so much potential to her, because she is almost all that our lives are based upon. This painting is an attempt to explore the ideas of interconnectivity, natural cycles, slowly merging into infinity.Tools: Corel Painter 8, Trust tablet.
Time taken: around 2 weeks or so.
Size: 5400x3900.
*Please* check out the detail shots - there's SO much lost in resizing that you're missing half the painting without checking the close-ups. The sad part is that the starfield mostly gets lost upon resizing, and I've no idea how to help that. :\
Detail - butterflies
Detail - dolphins/water
Detail - face
Detail - lotus
Detail - spots/butterflies
Detail - torso
Update: available as desktop wallpaper over here . 1280x1024. (And DO read the description on that page, please.)
Edit, 29.07.05: I decided to annoy you by updating it a little. Seriously though, I fixed some anatomy bloopers (such as the arms which should now be both of the same length) as I'm planning to enter the image here and there. Wish me luck.
Update, 27.10.05: prints and other goodness now available over here! *squeeee*

Wow ! I like your vision of Gaia. She looks so powerfull, wise. I think that it isn't easy to represent her because we don't have lot of representations of her. Incredible work

The leopard part of her surprised me when I blew up the image.

I think this one of the best versions of Gaia that i've ever found. It shows what she truly is.

Wow...just wow. This is amazing. I love the way you've made everything connect to her. I couldn't possibly think of all of that to include. Its abstract but easy to comprehend too, especially when I looked at the links to the individual details (the resizing doesn't do it justice).
This is definitely going in my favorites and you, on my watchlist ><.

I'm working on an RPG in which Gaia features as a titan-goddess, I was wondering since you're such a fantastic artist and this is such an incredibly magnificent picture, if you might be willing to do another Gaia visual, which I'd credit you for in the game (which is hopefully going to eventually be on a console, God willing, I mean) and that, should I ever get the game published, I'd pay you *very* highly for at that time (since I'm kind of broke right at the moment and therefore can't afford to commission anything at all really). I'd totally understand if you'd rather not take your time for something that might not ever work out, but you have my promise that you'd absolutely get immense credit & immense pay-out if I ever manage to complete my RPG (since I've been working on it for 3-4 hours a day for a number of days tallying up to 4-5 months) and get sponsorship for it with some or other game company. If you'd be willing to do it, fantastic, just let me know and I'll send you a private message about what exactly I'd be looking for in the picture.

That sounds wonderful. Good luck with the game, and let us have this conversation again when the sponsorship is in place. ^^

Wowza! That is stunning. I really like the torso detail shot.
