Artist's Comments

Destruction. Everywhere.

When I started out with this piece, I had something completely different in my mind. It was dreamy and colourful... but here you see the result of not finding perfect stock. I had wanted a girl in red dress who paints the waves bloody... but I failed.

I was thinking about my "Iidmaa" (Ancient Land) role play character Kriise (Scream). She's a mardus and I have looked, but haven't found an English translation for it. Mithgariel, your nice help could be used now.

What is a mardus?

A soul preyd by evil. At nights, they rise from the depths of the bogs to hunt humans. Often they are sending demons on their way or serve them. For them, you can not use words strong, powerful, something big and important, but rather stalking, wheezing, cursing destruction, clawing, exhortative creeper in shadows.

Grey skin, long bogblack hair flowing in the breath of death and long whitish eyelashes. To its victim it creeps behind his back
When hunting, she stalks behind her victim's back, presses her long sharp nails in the neck, choking and breaking. You can also tell about her presence by disgruntled screams, muddled mumbling and disgusting rumbling.

Well, this is not exactly it, I added my own imagination to the picture. And guess what? I love it into pieces. :giggle:

I did a lot painting on her face, because I wanted it to look younger. My character was sacrificed when she was still a virgin and after that, raised as a mardus.

edit: `Mithgariel shared her ultimate knowledge and said that the closest word to mardus is bean sidhe. Take a look, if interested. XD

Tead, ega ei olegi otsest vastet, aga bean sidhe on suht lähim, mis keldi mütoloogias silma paistab, nii et võib selle viiteks tuua. Aga kindlasti ei ole mardus bean sidhe, kuigi ta võiks tema suguseltsi kuuluda.

Samas - marduseid on ka erinevaid. Lindgreni omad näiteks olid ju hoopis teisest vallast, aga temal nad kriiskasid ka.

Ja mis pilti puutub, siis kuulutan selle üheks oma lemmikuks. Väga lahe. Idee ja teostus rokivad.

Aitäh. :hug:

Millised Lindgreni mardused olid? Kus raamatus? Ma polegi lugenud. Või olen vahele jätnud.

Mul on hea meel, et ta meeldib! :heart:

Röövlitütar Ronja, ikka ;) Kõikse jubedamad elukad selles raamatus, imho. Kui ei ole lugenud, ja ei juhtu omama, siis kiusa mind - võtan sulle Iidmaale kaasa.

Ilus pilt ja nii aga mul tekkis huvi, et kui kaua ühe sellise pildi tegemine üldse aega võtab? Kuna ma ise ei tegele sellega absoluutselt siis mul pole õrna aimu ka.. Tund? Kaks? Vähem? Valgusta mind :D
:iconstigmachina:
It's really beautiful!! :heart:
:iconkechake:
Võtab jah umbes 1-2 tundi. Kui ma alustan täis lä;paka akuga, siis lõ;petamise hetkeks on akut järel 38 minutit. Mu aku kestab ~2 h 55 min.

Ja minusugune kuldkala muidugi unustas kaasa võtta. Aga küll sa saad, ega saamata jää :)
