In plenty of time for Valentine's day, I present my character Wraith in an image loaded with symbolism!
I'll give you a few hints... First off, the composition is a nod to Mucha so I had an Art Nouveau theme in mind when I did this. That being said it was a necessity to incorporate textiles and flowers into the image. The giant metallic roses have the same symbolic meaning as your garden variety rose- love, passion, devotion, and all that. The ring represents unity, no surprises there. The background shows the infinity of space which is, of course, a symbol for eternity. You can go ahead and analyze the rest.
So this is a combination of ink, markers, and watercolours... Oh, and my wonderful white paint marker. Yay!
I absolutely love how you did this! I think you mixed the colors well, and did great on the armor. I have such a hard time with drawing armor, it never looks quite like it...then again it probably would if I added color Anyway, this is beautifully done and definatly getting added to my favs. The symbolism in it is great, and the wrinkles in the purple cloth are perfect! I also have a bit of trouble with cloth on occasion, though I pull through alright. I can't wait to see the rest of your work!

Daily 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.
