Description
Another Greek mythology image, this time its Gaia, spirit of the planet. Mother nature if you like. Also I think I read somewhere she was a Titan but more of a pacifist in role (Louise correct me, I think I'm speaking crap
). She is supposedly seen connected to her element so I thought of a more decorative image to show this rather than shoving her in some forest and be done with it. 
Colours work ok but I'm not so sure about the idea. Though other people seem to like it which is half the battle won
I might add a better description another time as my mind feels kinda blank at the moment as I'm watching a program about swearing at a school just up the road. I cant see what they are moaning about, my secondary school was much worse! haha
This one is dedicated to Charlie as it is her 19th Birthday today
Hope you have had a great day!Full view please

Very lovely! This seems, to me, to capture the essence of rebirth and cycles! It perfectly represents what you wanted it to. Her radiant, green hair is a nice touch too.

Nice art! I would like to ask for permission if it's okay to have your art be part of my list on my site? I am looking forward to feature some great gods and goddesses on my site. You can check out my site here, at the bottom. Of course I'll put a credit that this is your own art.
Hope you'll agree! \(^_^)/

Just read that you were unsure and thought i'd clear it up. I learned in my mythology class that Gaia and her husband/brother were born from chaos and created the universe. She bore the titans. There are several versions as in any culture and in the one you are thinking of she may have been a titan. I'm just sharing what i know. ^-^ beautiful piece btw.

Hair is easy when you understand how it falls around the head and how it moves.
You are bril at colour. Your dog book and little red riding hood shows this. Its knowing where and when to use colour which makes you good at it rather than making complete colour images.

The set cept Ares as I felt it turned out terrible. I just dont understand why other people cant see how terrible it is!
Glad you like this one

Oh yeh - the guy with the eye - wooo I made a poem! I like it, even though you hate the background. There are teensy bits you could've improved on, like the graves maybe, but other than that it's cool. Certainly not terrible! I think you should post it anyway to complete the set. But who cares what I think?

We all do. Just I cant submit as I cant bare people to see it. When people looked at it in uni I could not help but comment on how crap it turned out as people may think that I'm going backwards if I leave it to themselves to work out.
