Description
#2 Pencil, 14"x17" Paper ... to be colored at a later date.A Sylph is a mythological creature in the Western tradition. In recent times the Sylph has passed into general language as a term for minor spirits, elementals, or faeries of the air.
From my other art work "Ancient Tower" this is the other side of the land mass on which the tower rests. From here the view of the same tower is in the upper right.
Many things are hidden in plain sight. Faces of people and animals in the ascending smoke. A hovering small fairy, a worm wearing a top hat and the eyes of the scaled tree are all being vigilant over the resting Sylph. For she is the antagonist of the Valkerie.
The feathers falling from the bell ... "every time a bell rings an angel get his wings".
My one mistake ... I was pressing on my pencil too hard when the glass "semi circle" in the lower right corner broke.
Also there is a toaster ... why? because I can.

I'm glad you liked it.
Did you find the toaster?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yes, I think. It is on the main tree near a mushroom.
I loved searching things in this art.
It must take a life to you to draw so tiny accurate details...

Congratulations. You are correct!
I hope you enjoyed the search.
Look at my drawing "March Hare", try to find the 12 time pieces.

This was one of my most enjoyable art attempts.
The detail in the "sublime" was the icing on the cake. Did you find the toaster?
Glad you enjoyed it.

That wood texture and carving looks so amazing, I feel like I'm gonna get a splinter if I rub my hand across it. And the shading within the carved marks is really precise.

Thank you. I enjoyed doing the wood. The key has a ribbon tied to it. I especially like the way the key and lock came out.

That and the Glass looking things in the corners. The feathers are really cool, it almost looked like those leaves near the feathers transition from each other.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Perhaps they are transitioning or morphing. Only the artist knows for sure.

Valkyries were goddess/wimen spirits who would take the fallen in the battle to Valhala-the heaven of dead brave worriors to service a Odin.

Thank you for your input. Isn't mythology a wonderful procession of traditions that have evolved throughout times, cultures and beliefs? Each attempting to give solace to those trying to understand the natural universe that surrounded them.

I have huge collection of various mythology. The mythology I am the most interested in is Slavic mythology because is the less studied and there is very few written stuff about it. I want to study it and reconstruct her.
