Description

Work, work, work and more work - but I had to do this little picture for something at Epilogue. It's most unfortunate I didn't finish it in time for Exposé, but, ah well, can't have it all, eh?

All done in photoshop 7, and painter 7, by the by :) Like usual. Wacom tablet and all that jazz. Wallpaper version available at http://www.furiae.com in different sizes :)

Anyway - it's part of my dark fairy tales project.

----

Mehach and Ereyon.

Tales speak of how Mehach, Goddess of Death, used to visit the world of Aii Chriaston in the past. She would herself step down from her ebony keep, and gently weave and coax souls from their discarded shells - and legends speak of how she, when gathering souls from a battlefield, met a wounded, but still breathing young man by the name of Ereyon.

Ereyon was beautiful in a way the Goddess had never seen before - she had seen beauty in Gods, but here, she saw beauty in life. In his pulse, in the beat of his heart, and she came to love him - and he came to love her.

She visited him every night, and every night they kissed. For nearly a year, they were together, but Ereyon had a secret he did not share with his mistress. Though her presence when she was with him was dimmed down - she was still Death, and she was slowly killing him. Rather than telling her, and losing what little time he had left with her, he kept quiet, and wasted away. Mehach was blinded by her love for him and suspected nothing until the day he actually died - and she felt his passing from her throne.

He did not come to her, though, as souls should. He clung to his grave and haunted the cemetery at night. Mehach called for him but he would not come - so she was forced to go down to him once again.

He did not want to go to the ebony keep, because he knew that then he would lose his memories and his love for her - he would lose what he had left. Haunting the cemetery, at least, would let him remember what they had shared.

Mehach spent the night in the graveyard, playing her harp - weaving patterns of his soul through her fingers, until, quiet as the wraith he was, he could no longer resist... and floated towards her, kissing her cheek - and she kissed him in return and thus stole his memories, and his love, and all that he once was... truly stealing his life before taking him back to the dark keep.

It is said that after this incident, after the tragic death of Ereyon, the Goddess of Death has never been seen on Aii Chriaston again.

Wow, thank you everyone

This picture was puuuuure hell for me. I started out with a very vague idea of -her-. I knew what she'd look like, that she'd hold a harp, but that's about it - so I painted her... and she turned out like I wanted her to, but the ideas on what she should be part of were still not formed. So I doodled, and painted, and tried - and for every new setting and composition I attempted, I messed the image up more.

Then, snap, I knew just what the picture was about - and I painted her, slowly added him, detail by detail, but it still looked like crap. It wasn't until I started on the moon that I knew if the picture would work out at ALL or not.

:)

It's been a labour of love, and I'm all giddy with the feeling of having worked -so- hard on something, and having it turn out the way part of me had wanted it to, all along - like tragedy, magic and beauty.

So, well, anyway - I blabber too much. Thank you everyone - I really appreciate your comments :]

Stunning, beautiful, magic, enchanting, and more endless descriptive adjectives. Linda, your work will forever impress me - when it comes to technique and love for the art. It is art that goes down to the feet by way of the pelvis without paying a call on Mr. Brain. It's art that makes you want to kick down walls and ascend the sky on steps of fire...

But.

But, I fear that your choice of characters runs in a loop. It's too often these slightly anorexic androgens. How about a chubby angel? A horribly ugly ogre super model? A bearded lady? I can understand your choice of appearance for your characters - they're people everyone everywhere will like because they're asymmetric. You got the power, the magic and the tools to change minds. What stops you from doing it?

 
Avatar Enayla

 06/17/03 @950

Thanks again, everyone.

Afraid I'm not interested in painting ogre models, chubby angels, or the likes, Peter. I paint what fascinates me - and what fascinates me is androgyny and a certain kind of appearance, at least in art. Like I've said before, I'll leave faces that fascinate other people, to other people. I paint things from my imaginary world, nothing else.

And you're wrong - not everyone likes them. I still receive a good deal of hatemail because I paint creatures and people that are genderless. People who call me all manners of name because I 'dare' to question the roles of our sexes.

I enjoy playing with views on genders and I'll continue to do exactly that. The moment I start painting things because someone else thinks I should, is the moment I should (and I've said this before) just plain stop what I'm doing. Sorry if you think I'm running in a loop. Personally, I think I'm running down a path of my own choice :)

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

The first words that came to my mouth when I saw this picture. I vividly depicts the story you have told at the bottom of it. I want you to know that this picture is truly an inspiration and the beauty of story through painting. In all my days have I never seen such a beautiful depicted story. The goddess of death looks so beautiful as well along with the fallen soldier. This is the greatest work I've ever seen (oops I said that already).

I'm listening to a song from Chrono Cross soundtrack - Garden Of Gods which suits the picture perfectly. The sound of the harp in the music is incredibly haunting. Sounds as if the picture is alive while Mehach play her harp and weave Ereyon's soul. Makes me feel so sad when listen to this song :( I don't want Ereyon to die...........

I want to say that this is a soulful incarnation captured digitally, I want to say, that this is painted poetry. I want to say so many things about this painting. And I, a lover of words, cannot think of the proper way to express myself. Telling you that it is mournfully beautiful, just doesn't seem to convey the powerful way in which this piece affected me. The feelings it portrayed. The emotions it envoked. My words don't do it justice. So, with that said, I'll let the artwork speak for itself. Best wishes to you, and your work.

she was Death but she was strong
she looks like Tarja, Nightwish's singer

or Cristina, Lacuna Coil's singer

When I saw paintings of Linda - I remembered Maxwell's Daemon (http://members.fortunecity.com/maxwelldaemon/) greatest Russians painter Vrubel.

Linda’s painting faces so expressive! They are beautiful and so sexual!
Anyone agree with me?

Well, it appears that I must be among the last on the planet to comment, but, what else is there to say......
I never would have thought death to be so hauntingly beautiful, it is a refreshing change from the usual black caped, scicle wielding, skeletal version of death. Linda, you make death now seem more of the blessing that it is, than the fearful fate normally portrayed. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
Your talent and skills are amazing.

 09/24/05 @949

I feel like Ereyon, drawn even unto the image. So very archetypal, this image is a wanton gallery of elements and many-layered meanings; I wonder, how many meanings were there that were infused consciously?
I did not see Ereyon until a second perusing, concentrating instead upon the three broken harp strings (the harp = half a heart shape) and the correctly configured glints of light captured as they wave about in the gusty air.
I first thought that the writing on the harp was runic script, but to be honest, I'm not sure what language (if it is any) it is...perhaps it is a song?
I like the way Mehach's hair trails away into the other-world with the souls of the dead reaching out from it, and also how Ereyon's spirit seems to be melding into it. For all his beauty and love, his fate is no different. Death, equalises us all, even if it comes in the guise of a beautiful Siren.
Critique-wise, I would say that while we see the night's shining full moon in the background, it leaves me wondering what light source is it that bathes Mehach's frontal beauty?
