Kiya’s role means that she embarks on many diplomatic missions to other nations, as such here she is approaching the city of Babylon, the famous tower, reaching into the heavens yet somehow not even tall enough to come close to the reaching the top of her toes. Perhaps unsurprisingly, her very appearance alone can convince the masses towards her beliefs!
This is a picture which I've actually been wanting to colour for years, but I've never actually built up the confidence to actually do it. So this month, I figured it was now or never, and got it done! I'm quite happy with the results. Kiya looming massively on the horizon is always a wonderful sight.

I used a combination of reference materials, Bruegel's painting being one of them.
One of my favourite things about looking for references and such for the tower Babel was the wildly varying statements of it's height from historians in the wikipedia article for the tower itself.

It's an amusing read!

I did not expect to see the tower of Babel in your work. as for Kiya herself, I like how the atmospheric haze and the angle makes her seem even bigger and that the smile on her face shows that she's just there for sightseeing and diplomacy rather than the things that macros usually do.
She also looks well dressed for the occasion even by her standards. The art is also exemplary but all your art is so good that i don't think i even need to say that in future.

It's actually shown up a few times in Kiya pictures over the years! It was in the background in pictures like this. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/4320119/
Thank you very much though! The atmospheric haze is a big part of this picture, and I never know quite how intense to make the effect. But the whole point of this picture was to make her look really big, so it made sense to make it quite a strong effect.
Huge thanks!

13 years. You've been around for an extremely long time and I know you've been around for even longer than that. i can't help but wonder why you abandoned your old Mawie account that was for gift art for you? https://www.furaffinity.net/user/mawie/
Atmospheric haze is often under utilised in macro/micro so just using it shows your quality as an artist.
And I give a gargantuan "you're welcome" back.😜

Perhaps a good idea would be to log into the alternate account shortly before you log into your main one here every time you do so. That way it will become a habit again. And making an announcement journal on the alternative account will explain things to people.
I didn't know you'd been posting since 2002. What sites were you posting on to begin with?

Lofty closed long ago, but I think the others are still about I removed my things off them years ago though!

Towering into the heavens, but some would argue that Kiya herself is hevenly~
Fantastic work and the way she's behind the clouds and then above the clouds really sells her size <3
Also love the lighting you went with c.c
Also also nice touch of including those distinctive blue gates of Babylon!
