Todays was a present for the wonderful Hvitkanen, who I admire very much!

Hey, it's May 20th - Kyuusei's birthday!

She might not do much for it (how many different ways can you have a birthday after 900-some years?) but thought it might be nice to celebrate with a birthday collage of some of the art that's helped bring her to life...

Artists: Lemongrace, Vlada, YuxingArt, and Saltmatey.

Seraanna as The Sibyl - commission from Hvitkanen

sib·yl/ˈsib(ə)l/

a woman in ancient times supposed to utter the oracles and prophecies of a god.

Symbolism of The Sibyl:

Two fingers pointing towards Heaven and two towards Earth.

Six-pointed stars behind (the Seal of Solomon), a symbol of wisdom

The moon is a symbol of intuition, dreams, and the unconscious.

Her hypnotic gaze which entrances those who come near her, bringing them under her power.

A key that represents the balance between the conscious and subconscious minds and the unlocking of mysteries.

The key has an inverted pentagram – a sign of the darker side of magic and occultism.

It was such a pleasure to work with Hvit on this one - I came to them with the concept of Seraanna as a sibyl; they brought the symbolism and imagery to life and I’m almost wordless here!
