Description Terra visited me again

Her blue fur took an interesting shape that reminds me of a stormy sea, which gave me an idea for another painting I want to do

This time I used a mix of pencil, water-soluble oils, markers, coloured pencils and ink.


This was taken with a camera. I might upload a clearer version later when I get access to a scanner.

Thank you
My Terra is a personification of nature and life itself, has no specific age (in other words: she can be a both elder and child in the same year), she's very intuitive and wise, as well as playful.

I borrowed the name from latin "terra" which means "earth" or "land".

Oh, yeah! Once again - beautiful..

By the way, are there water soluble oils?
I though no such thing existed...
Where do you get them? What brand it is?

shideh In reply to Edarneor [2010-02-06 22:52:58 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!

Yes, there are. I bought them at a local store. Here's a link to the ones I use [link] They're not the best quality though.

Octorin [2010-02-06 15:43:24 +0000 UTC]

I very much love Terra and the fox is spledid in its pose, seemingly having wings that no human eye can see. The fur with its blue cold colour and short straight straws is a nice contrast to the long warm red hair that curls from her horn crowned head.
A Demon and an angel in one I would say. A child of the two worlds perhaps? Then again, maybe heaven and hell are the same?
Free as the white bird that circles her, mysterious as the furry friend in her hands. We want to know everything about her Friends, besides the nature's creatures? Parents? Maybe she knows but won't tell us.
Anyway, It's always wonderful to see her ^___^ I hope Terra will visit you soon again!
