Description interior art of a sort-of-mini-comic thing I'll be taking to the coming events. (the w.i.p is in my desktop screenshot. sedna lost a tentacle in the way, which I thought was kind of proper, considering)

I am only making 22 copies of this one -they'll be numbered-, because I want it to be short and sweet

In case you donΒ΄t know, Sedna is an inuit goddess, and she is also one of those dwarf planets that shoved Pluto to the "what are you now?" cathegory and made astronomers and astrologers alike go WTF.

Her story is incredibly sad and tragic, and really interesting, symbolism-wise, so I suggest you google it)

(I like the way her tushie looks here ^.^)

edit: framed it because I remembered this will get printed at the same house as Scared of, and I hate the white edges that the printers tend to leave instead of letting it bleed.

Always remember, you fellow self-publishing control-freaks, the printers hate you. Badly.

Sedna--one of my favorite stories in mythology. Great job; you're a very skilled artist.

This is beyond beautiful... I absolutely utterly adore it. Do you have any prints of it left? If so I'd love to snap one up.. I'm a sucker for well done black and white work, and anything with curvy goddesses and tentacles is an instant hit for me.

Lovely work, and I love the whole story on Sedna, most of them anyways

Derrewyn In reply to Bambiman [2008-06-30 15:55:37 +0000 UTC]

lots of versions XD

I find the one of the forced marriage the most terrible one, with her completely deprived of a choice all her life, then killed by her father and trapped in the depths, tangled. ItΒ΄s the one I find most interesting as well ^^

Bambiman In reply to Derrewyn [2008-06-30 18:32:13 +0000 UTC]

I like the one where she marries a dog instead of the suitors her father chooses, but they're all pretty awesome to me ^.^

Derrewyn In reply to Bambiman [2008-06-30 19:21:51 +0000 UTC]

oh, the dog one is sooo good XD


a really really extreme- feminism metaphor, donΒ΄t you think? She preferred a dog over any guy XD

yeah, I'd say that's pretty extreme XD

Very Lovecraft-ian in my opinion. You have a unique eye, or penchant, for mixing the grotesque with humanlike attributes.

Derrewyn In reply to Formor [2008-06-30 15:56:47 +0000 UTC]

perhaps because I think humanlike attributes are rather grotesque? mmh... interesting comment, Adam, I'll think about it.
