Tag As FavoriteComment		Illuminita Decour and Lilith Fortis, the hero and antihero of a book I plan to write at some point.

If anyone can tell me the connection between their names, the picture theme, and the title of the picture, they get imaginary cookies.

::first comment high kick:: Lovly. I enjoy watching the production of a picture, it facinates me. You do this well, transforming a picture from flat 2d color to 3d color. I'd love to be notified when youre finished with this.

Even as a work in progress, it's fascinating. I love the way you're building those two characters. When it's finished, it's going to be exceptional.

wait wait wait... ok i think i got it. Um, for the names, Illuminita, like illiminate, meaning light. Fortis, i believe, means night. i would need to check on that. i don't know about Lilith or Decour, but lilith does sound spiffy! and Night Light would be what each one represents, which fits with the symbolism in the picture (the dark sun and the bright, lighted sun). Did i get it? do i get the imaginary cookies? my fave bit is the 3/4 of Illuminita in the background, but all of it is done very well. spiffy.

:-) Elizabeth Wyatt replies: "Alright, I'll tell. You got the Illuminita part right-- 'To illuminate'. 'Decour means 'inside' or 'soul'. But Lilith, in contrast, means 'Spirit of the Night' or 'Spirit of darkness'. Fortis is Latin, meaning 'Brave' or 'Strong', which has nothing to do with the picture-- it represents something in the story.Taken all together it goes: Soul of Light, Spirit of Night. Ergo, 'Night Lights'. Hence the eclipse in the background."

Ooh interesting. I love the clothing and the colouring is amazing. What program did you use. And the skin tones are perfect too! Good work! The sky is excellent. Overall it great. I'd love reading the story.

So can you actually speak Latin?
Anyway great picture, especially the background as already stated.

Hail and well met! Would that by any chance be an athame in Illuminita's hand? Well, anon, good lady!
