Artist's Comments

For "Mythology, Folklore and Religion" Contest at
Here comes the longest list of resources I ever used. I don't like long lists, but I had no choice.

Weapons: for (the arrow is damn useful. Thanks. :hug: ),
Texture: , sxc.hu

Other pictures: sxc.hu, me

I planned to dig into Greek or Norse mythology, since I'm very interested in them both. Then I decided to work with some folklore character, and she was the only folklore character that came to mind (except Leprechaun). Gamayun is Russian (or Slavic) folklore character, a prophetic bird with a head and a chest of a woman. She sings her prophetic songs to the chosen ones, her appearance may be the sign of forthcoming storm or war. Gamayun symbolizes wisdom and knowledge.

You said contest? CONTEST? I'm coming right in to your page to read about it. I decided to try a few since I have some free time now.
Thank you for the great comment. :hug: I'm not sure if she's a girl or a bird more, too. :lol:

Oh, this is so freaking cool! You continue to amaze me with this particular style. I love the way you incorporated those simple black lines; like the one on the moon. The composition is fantastic. Love the way you did the feathers too. Also, I'm glad you went with a local folklore, because I've never heard of her before. Very unique and cool. :clap:

This is superb! If I had to point out one favorite part of this piece it would have to be that you've made it look like an old drawing in a parchment manuscript. I think I might have to get into Russian mythology now. I adore Norse mythology. The Valkyrie are my single-favorite aspect in Norse mythology. Excellent job!

Oooh! I love her! This new style of yours is freakin' brilliant! You should keep at it until you don't have anymore ideas. :D

The very existence of flamethrowers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done...”

One last wish, let's play Russian Roulette as we first kiss.
