Started out just by deciding that I wanted to actually do art of my online persona, Fae, and then evolved as I decided I wanted to do something more complex, and have a nice background. inspired by the background I have on my tumblr http://godessfae.tumblr.com/ and twitter because I really liked those colors. Of course, once I finished mine I sortof wanted to do one for my 3 bff's
 pure-ruby-dragon  vivlandi-basil  jabbershire-cat :) [and will be doing one similar to them for my sister ]



extra inside info:
THIS SONG
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzxlgePnw0c had a HUGE part to play in the feeling involved with these pictures, as well as this quote: (btw, if you like avatar TLA at all, I highly suggest you watch the video. it's pretty well done. )


"I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the ending, because how could the ending be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances at turning back only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding onto something."


Every once in a while a song will really catch my ear/mind and I magically play it on repeat, whether on a you tube player or just in my head. I suppose it's because something about it really resonates with me at the time. There have been times where I go back a week or two later to listen to the 'song of the week' and it doesn't have the same effect, and I can't quite pin down why.
This song is almost haunting to me right now, I can feel my emotions responding to it as I listen, something almost melancholy, but hopeful, and in the end, confident and content. It's hard to describe adequately. Something strong but vulnerable. Something about growing up.

I hope you all got some sort of feeling conveyed by these works, because I feel like each one is a process I'm going through, trying to set down thoughts and feelings into a work intentionally. I really wanted to convey the essence of that song and quote in those pieces, (which also meant playing that song on repeat quite a few times as I worked) and tried to capture my own personal thoughts in each one. They all have some subtle little representations and meanings as well.

Any thoughts/questions are welcome, and feel free to comment. whether I know you or not. whether you are a watcher or not. I hope you all enjoyed the art, because I sure did :)

If you want to watch the processes, go here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/fae-s-art the videos should be available for anyone and everyone to view.

p.s. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8135232/ is my desktop wallpaper.
I almost NEVER have my own art as wallpaper, so this tells you how much I actually like this one :)
