Part 6 of 6
(for now... more to come later?) Brigid, which means "Fiery Arrow" or "Bright Arrow", is a Celtic three-fold goddess. Known by many names, Brigid's three aspects are Fire of Inspiration as patroness of poetry, Fire of the Hearth, as patroness of healing and fertility, and Fire of the Forge, as patroness of smithcraft and martial arts. She is mother to the craftsmen. Goddess of the Sacred Flame of Kildare and often is considered to be the White Maiden aspect of the Triple Goddess. She was Christianized as the "foster-mother" of Jesus Christ, and called St. Brigit, the daughter of the Druid Dougal the Brown. Brighid's festival is Imbolc, celebrated on or around February 1 when she ushers Spring to the land after The Cailleach's Winter reign, when Brigid's snake comes out of its mound in which it hibernates and its behavior is said to determine the length of the remaining Winter. It is the basis for the American Groundhog Day. This is the sixth of a six piece portfolio for Independent Study in Digital Drawing, with piece examining a uniquely feminine trait as represented by a goddess. Brigid represents creativity and inspiration. (she's my favorite, but don't tell the others...)  Adobe Photoshop 7.0, Illustrator 10.0.3 and my Precioussssss Image © ME!!! 2006 Textures from [link] |

 reports, 1d 18h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community.

Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.

May I become a protector for the protectorless,
A guide for those who travel on the road,
And, for those who wish to cross the water,
May I become a boat, a ship, or a bridge.

I like the almost art nouveau line style you use. Excellent pose and expression captured on all, fitting appropriately with each theme. And I love the coloring style. Smooth and lots of good color worked into the highlights and shadows, something I wish I was better at accomplishing myself. The added textures were a nice touch too.
