Vwena: the Lord of the Dance
8/8/07 --- 8/12/07
Pencil, scanned picture, printed it and colored it.

This is Vwena from Thaerin’s story that he is currently developing. (I drew him another picture of another one of his characters, with probably more to come later! [link] )

Vwena is basically God. Or the elvish name for God. That’s just what they call him. I just spontaneously decided to draw this because I was bored one day and wanted to start another picture, so I did that and WHHOOOSH! Turned out way better than I could’ve expected. I’m happy with it. I pictured him creating the world, and I made him look very elvish. Just how I imagined him. And his eyes are white on purpose, I usually make the eyes white for higher beings, like angels and such. I think he kind of looks like Iluvatar. Well, actually I imagined Iluvatar a lot whiter, but I don’t have photoshop so I couldn’t make it look like he shone or anything.

Vwena’s different garements represent the ancient traditional elements; fire, earth, water and air. His hair is flame. As is his Halo, which is the sun. The blue in the halo represents the hottest part of fire (and the most energy and activity comes from the brain so I guess it makes sense. Kind of.) His eyes and face is light. His mantle is the shadow, the darkness and the heavens. Outer Space. His arms, torso and waist is the earth with plants and lakes and rivers (in a geometric pattern). The sash around his waist is water, the Sea and the Ocean; first melting from the earth and rushing down in torrents. His sleeves are the winds and the air. Within his sleeve is the storm clouds and lightning. His belt is the gems from the earth, the gold, silver and all the other precious gems. The tiny pearl in his hand is the world he is forming.

I was asking my family what they thought, and my mom said it looked like he was dancing. That made me think of this part of the hymn “The Lord of the Dance”:

“I danced in the morning when the world was young
I danced in the moon and that stars and the sun
I came down from Heaven and I danced on Earth…”

- “The Lord of the Dance” hymn written by Sydney Carter in 1963

*EDIT* (June 2nd, 2008) I just updated it, I changed the file because I used ArtRage to re-do some parts of the picture especially his face. But I didn't change much.
