"Broad water-lilies lay tremulously,
And starry river-buds glimmered by,
And around them the soft stream did glide and dance
With a motion of sweet sound and radiance..." - Percy Bysshe Shelley

So this is my second folklore-related-inspiration question... Celestial Maiden? Maybe?
Either way, you are amazingly talented. o.o

There was a place where the sea and sky met. Moon-eyed, the fire traced her iris in a golden arc of delicious laughter.
Absolute soliloquy.

That's really pretty. I like the canvas effect quite a bit, but my favourite aspect is the colours you used. They're really, really pretty.

Love the way you blended the colors in the "sky." The woman and the koi also complement each other well, and an awesome use of texture. The whole thing looks something like a woman bathing in the sky--Ameterasu, perhaps?
Anyway, very, very nice work!

great work!! I love the Shelley quote with it!
The water, the Koi, lilies and woman are put together wonderfully....and I do love the texture of old canvas.
It is a truly beautiful concept, and I love the use of color in it.
the only thing that bothers me a bit is the placement or size of the moon/planet...which I feel detracts a bit from the wonderful composition you have.
Overall, this is a fabulous piece, and well worth all the attention it is getting!

Beautiful Aimee!!! Igor does great work!!!

Very beautiful. The texture is so soft "feeling." I like the look on the model's face and that you were able to maintain that while making the piece your own work. I really like the composition.
Well done!
