Description
Gaia...mother earth,keeper of all that dwells on the surface of this planet.Just like it was with Aurora , she was created without a thought about what I wanted to do.
I love mythological characters, expecially goddesses...I guess there are more to come someday.
Gaia is one of my most beloved ones and so I'm really glad to see the outcome of the piece
It was lots and lots of work and came out to be really personal. I started yesterday around noon and finished it today (yeah I got sleep, but apart from that, not much happened )
What took the longest was her hair...its ALL painted and I really, really like how it looks. It created itself I guess...I just happened to hold the pencil
I've never painted as much digital before...I'm still stunned
It's painted with a wacom intous4s tablet
One of my fav methodes:
To work colors over the picture, I use different solid color layers that are set to diffuse glow. Play around with the colors you can choose and blend it out via a mask at places you don't want them (to get contrasts or different saturation levels). It's easy to achive a total new feeling to a picture like that.
I hope you like it...Comments and constructive critiques are welcome as always
edit: THANK YOU!!
I've never had that many favs and views before (not slightly)!
Thank you all who liked this picture and for the awesome support
second edit:
I really am sorry, but I can't thank you all in person for faving anymore...I spend more than four hours the other day doing so and I really enjoyed it, but I (still don't get I really have to say that) can't keep up anymore right now. Please don't be offended...I thank you all from the core of my being for every single viewing or faving
I'll still comment back of course

EDIT: Sorry for the watermark...I was forced to it because someone thought it to be cool to steal it. Thanks for telling me guys.
Thank you all for your support and if you really wish to have this pic without the watermark, please write me a note

Thanks so much dear
Yeah its really interesting...and whats even more interesting is , if you compare different pantheons with each other , you'll find the same characters again
I was thinking about my fav gods the last few hours, but could't point it quite out. I prefare female ones, thats for shure I'll be thinking about it...maybe it will hit me with another picture or something.

This is gorgeous!
I love how you've completely changed the angle and perspective of the girl - makes it very unique.
The way it looks almost painted is lovely too, and the hair is done so seamlessly. The butterflies are a perfect finishing touch.
Very well done!

Haha Yupp! I guess I would take out the butterflys first and set them on a nice flowerfield since they dont like to get wet...and then hell...I guess I'd call all my female friends and ask for help and two bottles of shampoo and even more conditioner
