Description
She was white like the sands, tawny like the sands, solitary and burning like the sands.--Honore de Balzac, Passion in the DesertThis is a piece that breathed it's own unequivocal meaning as it came to be; With this sentience it became a demanding mistress, unrelenting and even cruel. But such is the way with some paintings. I cannot say it is my best, the problem with painting certain recurring ideas that exist in our conscious mind is the subconscious is always rewriting them even as we paint them, editing away ideas deemed superfluous and embellishing upon ideas left understated in earlier ruminations. In honesty I could probably spend eternity revisiting this piece, but it is time to move on to the new ideas that breath with molten breath against my muse. I promise to one whose name I dare not utter, next time I will do better <:.

The gravitational lensing around the hands is a really nice subtle touch, like she is warping the fabric of space-time itself.

wow, how long did this take you? im freaking out because my pics take two or three hours, and im afraid thats not fast enough, and amazing things like this take just as long as my amateur stuff and all my time is being wasted on sucky drawings

im blown away. mixing the sand and the starry clouds from space was a perfect idea. Along with having her dress blend in so well with the sand. it's a very beautiful piece

Could it be Sekhmet dressed in blood of her enemies?
Your Muses are really something, I have to say.

you say it's not your best, but this really is an incredible piece. The contrast of the cool colors and warm colors is balanced so perfectly -- if there were anything I would change it might be to add small highlights of yellow, but not much. The details are fantastic!

This is just stunning. I love the use of colour; how she is utterly cold like the sky, but still burning with fire like the sand. Beautiful!
