Description <" I am on my way to find a star," said the witch-queen, " which fell in the great woods on the otherside of Mount Belly. And when I find her, I shall take my great knife and cut out her heart, while she lives, and while her heart is her own. For the heart of a living star is a sovereign remedy against all the snares of age and time. My sisters wait for me to return.">


< "A star,"said one of her sisters.
"A star," echoed the second.
"Exactly,"said the witch-queen, putting a circlet of silver upon her head. "The first in two hundred years. And I'll bring it back to us." She licked her scarlet lips with a deep red tongue.
"A fallen star," She said. >



This one is called "Fallen Star".
I mean an actual star! After watching Howl's Moving Castle (Ghibli) and reading Neil Gaiman's "Stardust". This fallen star came to me o.o In Stardust, this witch Lillim is chasing the fallen star, so she can take her heart. A fallen star's heart can make a witch young and immortal. She caught a fallen star before, because just as she goes off to find the new fallen star, she pops the last of a heart into her mouth before she leaves! o.o So I am enamored by the fallen star <3 Forgive me if it is a little risque.. I wanted to give a sense of vunerability and innocence...

(DISCLAIMER: If this contains mature content please let me know and I will remedy the situation. Also if you are a witch, I mean no harm to witches or offense. I enjoy stories o.o Including ones that turn the whole 'bad witches' thing around o.o I enjoy fairy tales, so I mean no harm towards other beliefs o.o;;;

Sorry it took so long for me to reply<3 I'm trying to go back to art school. It's a big venture and will call me a pretty penny just for admissions.

Thanks so much on the comment! This is a bit of an old pieces but I still love it so. When I read the book, I was imagining her. I love the movie as well. Really beautiful concept all together..

You're welcomes!

May I ask (dunno if you'd be revealing your top-secret ) how you add the shimmer/sparkle without it looking over-the-top or unnatural?

So-naa In reply to Neko-Musume [2008-04-14 20:28:46 +0000 UTC]

Pick the parts you want people to look at a lot. ( besides the whole picture lol ) and add the sparkles there.. Like her crown for instance ^^

She looks really beautiful! I love her flowing blue hairstyle, because of the brilliant shine and detail. The facial expression and her clothing looks so beautiful as well! The shading and the background as a whole looks really elegant!

I think what's cool about this piece, is that the little bit of lines that create the corner add so much to it! Your soft, sketchy linework add a lot to the mood of this pic, too. ^^

I wouldn't consider it as risquΓ©, but maybe that's because my standards are skewed? XD;

So-naa In reply to pinku [2005-10-22 06:17:53 +0000 UTC]

I hope to get more complete looking pictures in the future.. o.o *whispers* But I really like how this one came out in relation to what I was thinking and the stories I was reading and the ideas they gave me.

LOL I NEVER know!! I just put a disclaimer every time I draw from naked and it's not heavily covered by a full layer of colored. I also drew the whole body underneath and gave just a tiny bit of color, with pinking in uh sensitive areas.. I guess when your mind is going into that much detail you figure everyone can see you're perverse or something LOL LOL

Thanks!!
