This is the final piece I will be doing for my 'Voodoo' series, an emotionally tough decision. Originally I had an idea of grandeur, but I think it would have been too much.

The image and title symbolize the end of the series. The relic is illustrated by the 'spirit' lamp, overgrown and forgotten, trying to remain existent.

So here's to the end of my 'Voodoo' series, but a new beginning for a new year and for artistic growth. I've come a long way from my first 'Voodoo' piece (2006) and hope to grow more over the next year.
As the winged vixen makes a new discovery, I hope to discover new art techniques.

.5 Mechanical Pencil, 2 days on and off (~12 hours overall).
