Artist's Comments

This is my entry to :iconsaintfighteraqua: 's competition.
I chose David's childhood memory concerning Circe, the sorceress that deceived him later on in the story line.

Here, I tried to portray Circe as a simple young woman which is why I wanted her dressed commonly) that uses her magic to entertain David. She hands him a green crystal and conjures energy out of it while shaping it into foliage forms for his amusement.

My goal in this picture was to show the extend of naivity David had, being at that tender age, and maybe cast a slight doubt to the character of Circe, question wether she was so evil as to crush a sweet child's heart after bonding with him or if she did genuinely like the boy but her beliefs made her change her disposition towards him later on.

I have been working on this really hard and I know there are some flaws (doing the perspective in some parts almost killed me since I am not good at it) but nonetheless I had loads of fun making this. I've been wanting to recreate this scene since :iconsaintfighteraqua: 's last contest. Hope you like it dude! :)

By the way, anyone see any links between this and my previous deviation? ;P

Thank you! I did work my butt off but that never necessarily means it's going to be a good piece of art. Glad you like it :)

Beautiful work, going straight to my favs! :headbang:

This is awesome, so many things are incredible about this piece of art, it is one of the most photo realistic pieces you've ever done....If I ever get off my butt to write my novels, this will have to be a book cover!!! (Of course you'd get royalties, lol.)
You are incredible.

Also, you captured Circe perfectly, since when David met her, she seemed to be just a talented young woman at first, and dressed more like this rather than in her crazy sorceress robes.

I think you have become the one to beat in this contest, and you are the first entrant!!

I'm so gonna have to commission you in the future for book covers!!!!

Thank you for offering a perfect start to my new contest!! :hug:

Soooo, this is what youve been working on! :) That other piece you upped a few days ago is the highlights of david. :) First entry too huh? Cool job girl!

Now, i gotta join the theme where this entry isnt a part of. :) Btw, is this for the enemies or the love contest coz it could very well be suited for both depending on the interpretation. :)

Awww you make me blush! :blush:

I'm really happy you like it. I'm always worried if I've gone a step too far with other people's characters! Lol
I had already started this since Christmas but I gave up because I was too busy to finish it the way I wanted. You new contest was my motivation. :)
