SciFi and Fantasy Art Slyph by Jessica Voigt

'Do you remember when you were a child? Do you remember the moment that defined your childhood? Was it when you had your first kiss? When you could find the North Star by yourself? When you no longer needed training wheels? Tell me, what was it like...to be a child, to grow, to become, to mature? I do not know this action, for I have always been, and I always will be. Perhaps you could define me as a figment of someone’s imagination, a particle of some god's afterthought. That is, perhaps, if you wished to define me. I have thought long and hard on my purpose, but really what is the point, for what exists is mere trivia. I am simply here. Here to watch and wonder, what it is like to be you? So fragile, so emotional, so human. Perhaps…perhaps my childhood, is simply living it through yours.' -Slyph

24 Mar 2003	JadeFire doctoratomica@hot...com	Loading... Wow! this picture is amazing! I love the dark colours you use, and the wings on this one are brill! The buildings are realy well placed, they realy frame the figure. What was it done in? Jessica Voigt replies: "done in micropens, then put into adobe photoshop and colored in overlays."

12 Aug 2003	S. Rosera	Loading... Hmm..It looks like those are garou glyphs on her arm. Good image Jessica Voigt replies: "Sorry but what are/is garou?"
12 Dec 2005	Morka	Loading... Is she some kind of succubus?
23 Jun 2006	Perrin	Loading... "Garou" are characters from a role-playing game called "Werewolf: the Apocalypse" published by White Wolf Game Studios. The 'glyphs' to which S. Rosera refers may be studied here: http://www.patman.org/wod/resources/garou_glyphs.asp With respect to the piece itself, I am intrigued by the notion of something like an 'urban angel', watching over this part of town with whatever she can manage to find. While the caption seems to alter this notion somewhat, I feel that the two viewpoints are compatible. This 'sylph' is clearly fascinated by the eternally-changing face of the neighborhood, especially of the children who grow out of being able to see her, then being able to believe in her...
11 Feb 2009	Vic	Loading... I don’t know how young you are but I think that by the way that you write, you are in your early to mid twentys, I hope so, because I am looking forward to reading more of what you write inthe future and enjoying your art.
