Description "...And I built a golden temple,
To protect you from the sun
From years and from the rain
I would never ever rest
I could never give you up

That`s the secret you don`t know
But you might have heard before
That the Aztecs knew the Sun
Was the centre of our Space

And the centre of my System
Was the love I never lost
Star I promised to let go
But I`ll never give away"

Well, you got me there! the sketch started as an Indian princess, but later I decided to dedicate it to someone with strong amerindian features, so the whole concept changed. I have been planning to do my version of Jasmine for a while now, hopefully soon, when I'm good enough (she is my favourite Disney princess, I guess) Thank you very much!

Thanks a million. I cannot explain how much I appreciate your comments on my writing. Most people just fave the image without reading. I hope you don't mind if I watch you so I can read a bit more of your stuff...

Burnished gold indeed. It's gorgeous, warm and wild. How did you get the effect?

mitengu In reply to CrystalEnceladus [2010-08-29 11:55:05 +0000 UTC]

I don`t know how this happened. The linework for this was a reject sketch that I did a while ago. I wanted to test colours and I started to get into it. My approach to this was really casual to say the least.

One thing I like to do is to smudge the pastels with Starbucks napkins (for some reason they work best).

Thank you very much your coments are probably the best I`ve got in a while!

CrystalEnceladus In reply to mitengu [2010-08-30 03:56:14 +0000 UTC]

Starsies napkins? Brilliant.

Funny about how rejects can ultimately end up one of your best.
