Tarot Card II of the Major Arcana: The High Priestess.
Mixed media self-portrait started at age 19. Water media, color pencil, erasure, chalk. The phantom arch shape is the cutout outline of the painting; it was photographed against a black backdrop. Comments
 wow, thats some amazing colouring going on...
Her hands seems a little bit small, otherwise it looks really great! -- "There are some people in this world who never go insane... What truly horrible lives they must live." haha, true. I've moved from a small country village in Switzerland to a large (note that probably only to me it is large) city in New Zealand. The change in lighting and the atmosphere is really something.
-- "There are some people in this world who never go insane... What truly horrible lives they must live." Hmm, I will keep that in mind about the hands-- proportionally, it rings true to an open palm, base to fingertip measured against my face if the jaw is open-- which makes the fingertips fall at the brow line instead of closer to my hairline. Also, they're curled and the cuff of the sleeve falls over the base of the mound of venus.
What's real doesn't always necessarily *look right*. -- Illustration: [link] Writing and news: [link] I can believe it. I live at a high altitude, so the air is thinner and the light is crisper here. The colors in the sky and landscape are always fantastic. I was once in a city in a depression near a river-- and you could see the brownish discoloration in the sky for 50 or so miles.
-- Illustration: [link] Writing and news: [link] eck, my sympathies. I never had breathing problems before I came to live here... ah well.
-- "There are some people in this world who never go insane... What truly horrible lives they must live." too true. sigh, 'it should, but it doesn't', the rule I most commonly live by.
-- "There are some people in this world who never go insane... What truly horrible lives they must live." haha, true. It all goes to your head, or so I found after a glass of bubbly my nana gave to me at her birthday.
-- "There are some people in this world who never go insane... What truly horrible lives they must live." |

 reports, 1d 6h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
