Lady of the Earth

Life long fan of comic books and just starting out experimenting with 3D, as well as Photoshop. Took a long break because I just quit my job and am now travelling the world with my wife! (True Story)

Anyway, I'm experimenting with elemental effects for now. This is one of first pieces I am trying out with original characters. It's also the first series of nude figures I am doing. Previous pieces in this series are...

Lady of the Water

and

Lady of the Flame

and

Lady of Metal

and

Lady of the Wind

After the first two pieces, I decided I should do an elemental goddesses series.

So, this is a wallpaper of an Earth Elemental Goddess.

I'm trying to capture the "mood" of each elemental where water is sombre and serious while fire is wild and happy. Metal was supposed to be a strong, powerful character and Air a free spirited fairy

With Earth, I was trying to channel a life giving entity (hence the "World Tree"). Also, I thought the Earth was different from the other elementals, so I gave it a rainbow-colored background rather than a single toned one. The figure was more than a little inspired by The Birth of Venus by Botticelli

This is still one of my first works.. Still trying to improve and find my "style"

C&C most welcome
