My first complete painting of the year! Okie I stuck this in the anime gallery since Aquina is obviously in the same style I draw in. However... this is NOT a normal watercolor painting, despite all its appearances and style. It's a miniature. (Gwah! I feel so silly! I wish you all had studied miniature and then you'd understand why I emphasize on the difference! >.< )

Medium: Gouache on wasli
Time: 5 days? (emergency speed of making a mini! lack of time! )

Okie... so this is the first part of four paintings I'm doing for this exibition (me no think me can reach deadline... *gets stomach ache*), based on the creation of the Spirits. Soooo... anyways... before the actual thingy in the painting - the background story! (Warning! Boring story ahead! Skip if falling asleep. XD )

In a time long ago, when magic was all powerful in the world being the main source of energy, there stood a city, Seul Noftra, where Harmonie is today. There all the greatest mages and sorcerers gathered, lived, and exchanged ideas. But the mightiest amongst them all were 32, who knew the very knowledge of the heavens, and with this knowledge were made immortal. But 6 from the 32 who were skilled in the elements were not yet content, for they deemed the world could have more than what it already had. And so they set about to make men, people and creatures. Ofcourse, no man, no matter how mighty, can ever make what God can, and the people they created were not perfect. Composed of whichever element their creator had innate skills in, these people were flawed in appearance, with pointy ears and marks upon their bodies, and their temprament was volatile, the magic within them could burst out in destructive results if not taken care of. Still, these people were gentle at heart and loved those who had created them greatly; with time humans came to call these people as Spirits, and with later bondings and marriages within the humans, came today those that live in Sol Estor.

The 32 lived on, even as the land changed (and the great magic was lost, machinery taking its place), and with time came to be known as the 32 gods.

(End of long boring blab. Sorry!)

Sooooo.... in this painting - Aquina, the goddess of water, danced amongst the waters of the world, and the waters danced with her and from that created new sea life, springs that healed and restored strength to travelers and ofcourse the water elemental spirits.

(random side note: Aquina's spell circle says 'the hand that creates shall be the one to take'. Not that anyone cares... *cough* )
