Blindfolded WIP cont.

I poked at the fourth daughter a bit. Experimented with a background. I have mixed feelings. See last post for more information about this painting.

Blindfolded WIP

This is a digital painting of my character, the blindfolded goddess.

The fourth whisperer
She was the fourth daughter from The mother. She stands for the winter, the water, the north wind, the night, and death. She embodies rationality, sensiblity, calmness, and the lack of emotion.

This character formerly appeared in my painting The Four Whispers.

Kimeh-ni and the hoopoe birds

is a piece about my character Kimeh-ni. As she watches the hoopoe birds she contemplates her two sisters.

The Four Whispers

was a class assignment, it is an illustration of a young priestess contemplating a mural of religious importance to her village.

Destiny -revisited-

was my final project for the drawing class i took this summer.

Destiny

was the title of the second Illustration assignment of the semester.

"For five generations my people have served Meriya. Ever since my great-great grandmother came to this land and heard her voice and settled here; she promised that for as long as her children lived in the Borderlands every third daughter would belong to Meriya as shak-shoyise to her. I am the third daughter of Tisak-meh-ni, who was the third daughter of Satin-hok-me, who was the third daughter of Tisak-men-ho, who was the third daughter of Tohan-sok-me. In one year I will be explected to shoulder the full responsibilites of Meriya's shak-shoyise, and to serve Rahaz-mi to the end of my days. In one year..."

The image is depicting my character, Kimeh-nis-ti Satino, having priestess make-up applied to her face by one of the older priestess'. While this is going on, her cousin, who is also having the make-up applied, is trying to talk to her. The cousin is very excited about becoming a priestess; however, Kimeh-ni is very apprehensive. I tried to convey this feeling through her stiff posture and unhappy expression. The scene is ment to take place around dawn in a large empty-ish room.

I'm not entirely happy with how the painting turned out, mainly because I'm still learning how to use Acrylics. However, I do like the concept for this illustration very much. So I hope to play more with it in the future.
