Description *sorry for the loooong description!






Kerran kuljin yössä korven, | Once time I walked trough wilderness by night
lepikossa pilpattelin, | I went through an alder forest
öitsilempi mielessäni | Nocturnal love (?) in my mind
levotonna mieletönnä | I felt uneasy, frantic
mettänpeittoon niinpä jäihen | There I fell in mettänpeitto
kaotuimpa maitten alle | I disappeared under the lands (note: I'm not sure about this translation...)
Sillä laulaa luikuttelin | Here I sang [a lot]
soitin soittoo suuna päänä | I played an instrument madly

On se mieleen siellä alla | He feels satified here down
mettänpeiton valtiaalle | He is the master of mettänpeitto
vuoren alla vanha voima | The old power under mountains
tammen alla suuri mahti | The great might under the oak

Enpä tiennyt enpä tainnut | I didn't know, I couldn't
päivän kulkuu tutkannutka | I didn't follow how the day went (note: I'm not sure about this translation, eithet)
enpä tainnut enpä tiennyt | I didn't know, I couldn't
missä lienin missä lauloin | [I didn't know] where I was, where I sang

Kauvan lauloin, kauvan soitin | For long time I sang, for long time I played [an instrument]
kauvan lauloin runojani | For long time I sang my poems
Meni mieli muille maille | My mind went away to other lands
kiihko kauvaksi katosi | The frenzy flew away
Ikiunho vuoren alla, | Eternal oblivion under the mountain
ikijätti tammen alla, | Under the giant, eternal oak

Sielt kun viimein poises päasin, | When I finally got away there
perkoille pirttiseeni | I went back my house
unimuisto mielessäni, | The dreamy memory in my mind
pelko pieni pääkopassa | A little fear in my head

Kerroin kullasta, kerroin ajioista | I told about my beloved, I told about the times (note: In Finnish "my beloved" and "gold" can be said in the same word, "kulta")
kerroin, paikoista käskemäti, | I told, I told about the places without tolding [me to do so]
Lauloin kullasta lauloin ajoista | I sang about my beloved, I sang bout the times
Lauoin kenkään pyytelemäti | I sang without anyone else ask me [to do so]


::: "Mettänpeiton Valtiaalle" - Korpiklaani :: [link] :::



"Metsänpeitto" is state of being in Finnish mythology. In the state of metsäpeitto no birds or other voices of forest can be head. A familiar forest becomes strange and different. Sense of time and space is lost. A person in mets'apeitto can look like a rock to others. It is possible to get out from metsänpeitto by turning some of your clothes upside down, staring between your legs or by singing to the spirits, like gnomes, who probybly caused the realm of metsänpeitto.

In this story a young boy gets caught in metsänpeitto, but manages to get out since he's thinking about the girls and singing all the time. However, some people are known to have stayed there forever.


Thanks for :: [link] :: for the translate in English for this amazing song!








My work for Enchanted Visions theme of this month: "Lady Of The Forest".
I was inspired by this wonderful Korpiklaani's song...
My interpretation is a woman, like a ninfa, is "born" from the songs of the lost boy, but she can be also a creature of Metsänpeitto.
Yes, I draw the boy a bit "hide", because is my intention for to make a little illusion that he's lost.... I cannot describe better, but I hope you understand!


Damn... It's a lot of time that I don't working on a big size (for me, ahahaha) like this: 29,7 x 42 cm!
Aahahaha.... In truth, when I finish this work, I immediately thinking that a lot of things are very very ugly, like the boy, or some details of the forest.... I just thinking that this work is like a song that started in fantastic way, but finish in a veeeeery bad and terrible way...
Indeed.. Please, I know this work is full of mistake.... Don't tell me anything of they...: rofl:
Ahhhhhhhhhh.... Absolutely no references for this work (here because I make some confusion for perspective and more, ahhahaa)!




Size: 29,7 x 42 cm on paper (wow, it was a lot time that I don't working on this big size, ahahhaha)....
Tools: HB - 2B Pencils, Tria Markers Letraset, Colored Pencils, Blopens, Watercolors Pencils, White Ecoline, Green-Blue-Orange Glitters, Glitter Adhesive Butterfly.
No retouch with Photoshop!

In teoria, sì.. Anche lei è uno spirito della foresta (oddio, in verità è un'allucinazione di uno spirito della foresta, ma vale lo stesso? )

Grazieeee!!!!

This is amazing!! I love the description you wrote. Very full, very beautiful. And, I do indeed love this picture. It, of course, captured my attention because of the word "forest." Oh, how I cannot resist the powers of the forest. Wonderful!!

That's very evident in how you've created this picture. Since you are a Nature-lover like myself, I suggest you check out my journal for Earth Beautifying Project I'm attempting to host. See here: [link]

I personally do like green a lot, this one is a very nice tone. The artwork itself does
have a very poetic/epic =] feeling to me. It looks a bit like you airbrushed the BG
kinda it does have such a sprayish touch a very pretty one. The picture is very
decorative and nicely looking, very elegant

Eh eh.... In effect, some part in the background I use Blopens, there are toys air markers...
I'm in love with the Korpiklaani's song, so I always wish to make a draw inspired by it....
And.... It was a loooooot of time that I don't work on A3 size...

OH WOW, questo merita un supermega favvoneee!! Anche solo per il fatto che sia un A3, che pazienza che hai a fare disegni così grandi ed elaborati...
L'atmosfera della foresta è stupenda, e lei è semplicemente magnifica con quei capelli verdi che sembrano una cascata....
Ma il "lost boy" sullo sfondo...com'è vestito? Sembra vestito "moderno", mi incuriosisce questo particolare visto che lei è più ninfa/creatura fantastica...

illusorya In reply to rosalbarts [2011-02-11 12:21:38 +0000 UTC]

Ehm... Volevo vestirlo da boscaiolo, ma lui l'ho disegnato talmente piccolo che mi sono persa io nel disegnarli i dettagli..
Anche nello sfondo, in verità.. E' stato più facile disegnarlo che colorarlo..
Ci ho messo tante di quelle ore...
Grazie davvero, Rosyyyy!

Hai dato moltossimo la sensazione di calma e pace , come quando ci si addentra in un bosco credo che dal vivo con quelle farfalline risulta ancora più bello ><

Fan che meraviglia T w T...e la storia è molto intrigante, non la conoscevo, e dire che mi affascinano sempre moltissimo questo genere di cose...il modo in cui hai deciso di rappresentare il tutto è stupendo, i colori..lei è bellissima, e adoro il suo profilo e il suo sguardo!

Non la conoscevo nemmeno io la leggenda.... L'ho conosciuta solo perché adoro i Korpiklaani, e loro cantano spesso delle loro leggende finlandesi...

Che bell'effetto hai fatto in questo disegno O_O! Non so come si chiami, sembra "inciso", o in rilievo. I colori sono venuti netti e bellissimi, non so se sia merito dello scanner o che, adoro i capelli e il cielo specialmente (come al solito)!

illusorya In reply to Gwenelan [2011-01-29 16:54:19 +0000 UTC]

Awwwww..... Grazie davvero!
Scanerizzarlo è stato abbastanza difficoltoso, perché è molto grande questo disegno, e la mia fotocamera è una mezza ciofeca...
Non si sa come per qualche oscuro miracolo, ma 'sto giro non si vedono nemmeno le righe che "tagliano" il foglio per l'attaccatura fatta al Photoshop!
Strano, ma vero, questo giro i colori sono moooooooooolto simili al disegno in reale, a parte alcune sfumature perché, ma niente di che...
Looooooool..... Sei un genio... Il cielo è quasi completamente nascosto!!! Ti adoVo!!! :iconglom2plz:

Grazieeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
