These are all pictures I've drawn. Some of them contain nudity so if you're at all offended by the beauty of the body, you might want to leave. Also, these pictures are for you to enjoy, not take. Thankyou.
These first five pictures are sketches for an art concentration I did senior year of high school. My theme was the Tarot, and these are my personal interpretations of the traditional cards and their meanings. The actual works, though were paintings. These are just the sketches for them.
This is my version of the card, "The Star".
This is my version of the world. She's could be seen as a female Atlas, the god who holds the world on his shoulders, in Greek mythology.
This is the High Priestess. In the painting version, I added blood dripping from her wrists into the water and a suspended wheel of fire above her hands. The blood symbolizes healing and purity, kinda like the Christian idea of Jesus' blood as purifying and life-giving.
This one is "Judgement". If you are familiar with the traditional tarot decks, you know that usually Judgement is depicted as an angel blowing his horn, awakening the dead for the final judgement. However, my interpretation shows the angel being judged suggesting that no one escapes judgement, not even those that appear perfect.
This is the second sketch for my version of "Judgement". I actually went with this one for the painting and added flames around his body. It turned out very well, I think, and had the flavor of the "fallen angel" genre.
The rest are not connected by any theme, just drawings I've done in the last few years, some of which, as you might be able to tell, were doodles in school notebooks.
I've always been drawn to the idea of spirits of nature such as faeries, mermaids, elves, and any other of the names they go by . I believe I especially have a knack for capturing the essence of winged beings. Especially faeries and angels. Perhaps it is because I am a Gemini and that is an Air sign. This "piece" was done on the back of some other drawing as you can see.
This is just a mermaid. Ask my friend April, I'm obsessed with drawing mermaids.
What do you do when the lines become broken? What do you see when the memory fades? Look through the bars that hold in your heart, and shut out the light with cold, steel shades. Needle thin stripes, so even and blue, barring the way without care. How can you let yourself be restrained, by lines without substance, as thin as a hair?
Hmm....well, I really have no comments on this picture. I did it one day, just a doodle like most of the others.
Anyone familiar with the game Magic: The Gathering, might recognize this as the card "Stormseeker". I haven't finished this one yet, probably because when I started it, it was meant to be a gift for my ex-boyfriend, so I don't have quite the incentive to finish it and if I ever did, that useless sack of flesh with sawdust for brains sure as hell wouldn't get it! He he, yeah! Sorry, all systems returning to normal.
I will be putting new artwork up soon, so please check back in a couple of days!
