Description
Personification of LetheLethe literally means "forgetfulness" or "concealment".
In Greek mythology, Lethe is one of the several rivers of Hades: those who drank from it experienced complete forgetfulness. Some ancient Greeks believed that souls were made to drink from the river before being reincarnated, so they would not remember their past lives.

This is amazing, the oozing water of forgetfulness in her hand and the bag of souls are particularly well done.

very interesting, the left hand is amazing, although the right one looks a little strange. The colour scheme works well with the topic.

I do use a tablet but if you're deft with the mouse you don't really need one.. the skin texture you can obtain by using a speckled brush in photoshop and then smudging etc

lol ,,, nothing like me bing kind, just that some artist told me once that if i can make my humans look more realistic rather than plastic/ porcelain dolls it would be better,
so i shamelessly keep asking all those who so that stuff better than me,
collected a lots of tips so far but not getting chance to implement it.
are u into professional designing??

I love it dear. There's something a little akward about the hand further back....like the thumb is slightly out of place maybe...not sure
anywho - I'm no pro but i love it
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Oh right- I'll fix that when I can thank you for noticing ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yeah I see it now.
Maybe make the thumb a hair smaller or darker or both and highlight the leading side of the hand a bit to drop the thumb back. At the moment it almost looks like she has two right hands.

Actually yeah you're right- but I think I will make the thumb smaller and draw the hand a little closed-ish ; make some indents in her palms and hopefully it will be fixed ^^
