In contrary to everyone's assumed opinion, I actually enjoy the process of painting characters more than doing environments although my forté is the latter.
Characters are more challenging and you get to interact more emotionally with the subject matter. I think mastering the human form is the highest goal of any artist anyway.
Doing environments seems pretty dull to me most of the time, believe it or not.
Anyway, this is some Irish celtic legend, the Morrigan or Phantom Queen. Not to be confused with the videogame character (?).
Thank you so much ! I was looking for a good representation of the Morrigan and I can't believe so many people choose to draw or paint her with huge showing boobs and naked butt. It's so frustrating ! Anyway, thank you for focusing on the actual goddess and not some wannabe sexy playmate
This looks exactly like what the old woman described seeing in The Blair Witch Project. Whether inspired or not, I must say, the "shading" or "brushing" (if I'm speaking correctly) gives a very ghostly animated quality to it that really brings it to life. The color scheme is great too.
This is a very impressive drawing of the Celtic Goddess of War. The way she interacts with her crow familiars and is floating above the snow is amazing.
I absolutely love this. I love how you interpreted her. Most people make her sexy-looking and devilish, but I feel like you acurately represented her as the creepy, dark, lost soul that she really is. Not even sexy, but hollow, mysterious and haunting with an almost impossible to see haunting beauty...
the morrigan is actually supposed to be represented as a beautiful,seductive, but serious and stern woman in human form. the goddess of death, war, wisdom and wealth. she is always shown clothed in black feather or naked with blue war paint.
