That is so the absolutely last time I'm ever beginning a piece of artwork at 12 ish, finishing 6 hours later at the time when the sun is coming up. Sleepy, tired, weird dreams and missing lunch again. I'm ready to collapse infront of the comp.
Aphrodite the goddess of love, stock from Lockstock. The blond hair was hard.....but discovered smudge tool which was useful to smooth out the skin blends a little. I also think the blond hair had given rise to that weird dream I had about hugging Julian >>.....this college is getting into my subconcious...
Hera, goddess of Olympus and the wife of Zeus. Stock from Saligiastock. The original was very alluring around the eyes so I decided to focus on that. Overall expression, there's some sort of inner pain? She looks young to be Hera, the red cowl (my own creation) lends a more adult look to her so she seems to be a fragile girl yearning to fulfil her role as queen goddess. Same goes for the red makeup around the eyes. The tutorial I was looking at created a powdery coloring around the eyes, but my brush gave a liquid effect....so very frustrating. lips came out gorgeous though. And I like the extra patterning on the gold lining (done with point 3 hard brush, light yellow and many many manually created swirls)
I'm hoping to do Hades next week.....so far have completed four weeks of PPL notes, 4 more today (or tonight I should say) and the rest tomorrow. I should be set. Drawing lots for our new rooms today too, in about 10 mins. Hopefully I can get some good luck after all those weird college dreams.
Last night a moth flew to my hand and onto the table. Freaked me out to the point I was shrieking at my roommate to go kill it. And she was....fast asleep and had to wake up. Ah.....so...very sorry. But... I hate bugs.

Niflheim represents both light and darkness, of the celebration and distaste of life, of musings and incoherent thought. It is an outlet for personified angst and pessimism with chuckfuls of laughter and smiles.
It is Taka's way of drawing out all the little disturbing thoughts giving rise to nightmares, a way to self reflect, a way to seek solace.
