This is some sort of strangely costumed woman. I imagined her to be some sort of magical prophet, or maybe an important queen, but you can attach whatever story you want to her. Done with pencil.

Ahh! This is so original! The dress looks like something you'd see on Fashion File, and her pose is great. I envy you your ability to draw feet. I can't draw @#&%*$ feet. Again, this is awesome! *does her special personal one-person first-comment tango with traditional trip as she tries to swirl herself over*

Interesting. I very much like the way in which the shading on the dress suggests volume. The pose is also somewhat complicated, but you pulled it off quite nicely. It doesn't look artificial or awkward, which is sometimes the case with non-standard poses. Kudos!

1 Ilana R. MacDonald replies: "Yay! Well, I was strangely pleased when I did this one, oh so long ago, when I was on a trip to Nova Scotia... But that's a story for another day. But, yeah, I'm glad you like it!"

The Delphie oracle's mysterious words were translated by priests-and sometimes misunderstood.

When King Croesus(died c.546 B.C.)asked if he should invade Persia(modern-day Iran),she said that if he did,a mighty empire would fall. Expecting victory,he invaded-but it was his own empire that was destroyed.

An oracle has the ability to see into the future and speak words of wisdom to those who seek information.
The oracle at Delphi,Greece,is one of the most famous. Here,within the temple of Apollo,the Greek god of prophecy,was a narrow opening within the earth. Inside, on a tripod above the fissure, sat the oracle herself in a trance. She was consulted by kings and warriors, who gave great wealth to the shrine.
