****18/august/2002**** Somewhere in the lost depths of before time... The Great Mother, who's gaze saw all, and yet so little came unto a void. Empty, cold, it was shrouded in nothingness, and was but a black festering pit in a hidden crevice of the cosmos. And the Mother wept for the nothing, her tears spilling into the void. Yet all the Mother does has reason, and her tears came together to form a world... After the Mothers tear's created Shieleke, the land, and Haimarrae, the sky, the four elemental sisters -of water, earth, air and of fire- danced across the barren land, and at their feet sprung life, and the world blossomed as they wove their elements into the very roots of the new world... That is the general outline of a creation story I came up with when I was bored. Here's the four sisters in action now... UPDATE: im leaving this up, not because its technically good, but because it was well important to me when i did it!

This has lots of movement in it...which I love in art.
;P I don't think it's a burning down of anything. I was thinking more along the lines of the Cornwall sisters, but they've been on my mind lately. Soooo maybe it IS a destruction pic! ^_~

It reminds me of the crucible. Perhaps because we are reading it in English class. However, I love the pic, it is all forbidden and naughty, but rawr....so right. lol

Oh(sighs)it is so beautiful. The one if front with the long dark hair is especialy gorgeous. (Enviously wishes she was a water color painting.)

Nice... i like the simple but careful blend to this... the way they also sort of smooth into the background with a distinct way of standing out at the same time... I am interested to see your next piece on these four Elementals

I'm not sure I can tell which is which. If I'm right, the front one is Water, left is Earth, right is Fire, back is Air...Or did I get it wrong? It's a bit hard to tell.

Love the style , the watercolours
and the figures , the way they are more suggested than finely detailed , great effect
marvellous
and the vague hazy background , mysterious
love the whole atmosphere
