"Now I pray to the great and holy serpent of the lake, wise and fair to those of your faith, and ruthless to the defiled who scour our land. <br />
May you bring prosperity to our kingdom, grant us the vision to govern it well.<br />
May your courage be imbued in the hearts of our men, and your strength be passed on to them so that we may crush our enemies swiftly.<br />
Praise to the Serpent of the Lake..."<br />
<br />
This picture started out without any planning whatsoever. The whole<br />
picture was just one spontaneous mess of lines. And what a fine mess of lines if I may say so myself.<br />
While listening to Utada Hikaru's Kremlin Dusk, I felt an urge to depict a woman in anguish, but halfway through it morphed into a maiden praying by an altar. After that everything just pretty much went crazy. Parts of her clothes were inspired by Utada-sama's Sakura Drops outfit, then I added a corset or bustier or whatever, with the rest of the dress coming form my own imagination. Then more ideas started to spring up as I was on the subway home. Then out sprung the walls, with banners of the religion and the country, then came the candelabra, and finally the serpent as a wall ornament, with bricks making up the corridor. Finally while watching Micheal Flatley's Gold on television, I noticed the celtic designs and decided to add them to the doorway.<br />
So Voila! This has been one of my proudest works since. Please comment and tell me what you think.<br />
Thank you.
