SciFi and Fantasy Art My Muse by Anya ´broom rider´ Kholodova

Yes, it’s Dzzirtnafein again. But hey, a picture has a story of creation!
...I have always thought that it’s so strange and not so fair, that Ancient Greeks did not have a Muse who’s domain was drawing. For me drawing and painting is one of the most important forms of art, and it surely must have a Muse – so I decided to make a picture of my personal Muse, a spirit that inspire me to draw.
“I’ll let My Muse to guide my hand with the mouse”- I thought, having in my brain a vague image of a goddess in some Hellenic-look-like garment standing at sunset on a hilltop amongst the ancient ruins and holding a red rose close to her chest. Well, as the line art was still in progress (under the guidance of the Muse of course:) it became clear that My Muse is a male. “Interesting!:)”, I thought, and preceded with coloring. I tried to give him a pale skin and purple hair, but My Muse refused to look good with it, and so he refused to wear a tunic and sandals, and to stand on the hilltop amongst the ruins.
So yeah, that’s how My Muse is look like and that’s where he dwells. A bit unexpected inspirer for my colorful pictures, but even the Moon has it’s dark side:)... Oh well, he is My Muse – self-willed and beautiful... And hey, look, the rose is still here! :)

The other pictures of this drow character are: 'Drow Dancer Animated' , 'Beautiful Drow' , 'Drow At Work' , 'Drow Thief Upside down' , 'Dzzirtnafein & Wicked Vixen' , 'Watercolor Drow' , 'In the twilight. Art trade' , 'Impersonating Gods' , 'Smoking by the Moonlight' , 'On the rooftop' ,

5 Dec 2004	J. 'Kementári' Cruikshank	Loading... Wow... great shading on his body, and the lines radiating from the bottom-center really help draw attention to him. This is really well-balanced, and I particularly like the rose. It's an unexpected splash of colour in what is otherwise a very dark piece. The windows are also awesome - you're really good at architecture. Awesome piece ^_^ Anya ´broom rider´ Kholodova replies: "Thank you so much! I am kind of happy about how the picture turned on to be, though It happened by itself, without my planning"
6 Jan 2005	R. 'Rhia' Brown	Loading... Wow... dark and mysterious. Nice. The rose contrasts sharply with all of the black and draws the attention wonderfully to the center of the pic. Very nice. As usual, I love your artwork. Yes, dark and mysterious he is... well, at least he loves to appear so time to time Thank you very much, Rhia!
18 Jan 2005	Dagmar Jung	Loading... Why am I not surprised that your muse is good-looking male Drow? Love the background. And the muse, of course. I hope he will keep inspiring you! As for the lack of a greek muse for drawing and painting: As far as I know, those were not considered 'high' arts by the Greeks, and therefore not worthy of a muse. Anya ´broom rider´ Kholodova replies: "Yes, ancient Greeks did not consider painting, drawing, sculpture as a high art, and with all respect... How stupid of them Well, a good thing is that every artist could imagine his/her Muse in his/her own way Thank you very much for visiting me and a bunch of the loveliest comments ...But why you were not surprised that my muse is good-looking drow male is a complete mystery to me ))"

Wooow, captured for eternity by that picture. And the architecture of the BG is great!!!!! Anya ´broom rider´ Kholodova replies: "Oh, I am happy that you like it that much! This picture was never planned, at least in the way it happened to be; the color scheme and the background had happened kind of spontaneous... Thank you so much, and Happy New Year!"
