Description I found a book about goddesses from Creative Haven and liked the info. She is whatever worked at the moment; watercolor, oil markers, Spectrum noir, prismacolor, Zig, Pastel, cheap markers, expensive markers, Copic,etc. She took forever. She's larger than the original, the detail was daunting. I tried to give her a glow.Β  I also tried to use colors that were appropriate. Never again, but it was a good lesson in patience and persistence.
The Japanese goddess is the guardian of flowers and trees, and is said to preside over Mt. Fuji, preventing it from erupting.

Wasn't the main colors in her robe before purple?Β  I recall a work with purple and red, Oriental; and because of those colors it being outstanding in my mind.
I like this too...But is this the same one, was it re-colored?

No, she was cleaned up a bit and framed, I think you have this one in mind. Β

Perhaps....Don't know why I have it in my head that the robe was purple... I guess the gazillions of works I see daily are starting to get confused. ^^

I'm redoing a lot, that just seemed to be missing something, or had too much. Thanks.

Even if I say so myself, the Asian art is beautiful. I'd do more but it takes forever. Thank you.

I get your drift, they look like porcelain dolls. It's very hard to do the skin coloring. I actually use eggshell.
