Artist's Comments

It did not take her very long to grow accustomed to being human shaped, with all the odd numbers of fingers on each hand and thoughts enclosed in a very small, empty space. Thinking like a human-shaped thing proved to be a little more difficult, she came to find, with all of its where when why whos --

'Where' turned out to be here, Lore. 'When' was proved irrelevant. 'Why' was eventually discovered to be the reason for which the star was sealed into a clay doll and left to smother in the dulled senses of a lower life form, because she (who?) would have been Zaniah, the over-thrower of Astraea.

Whew! First piece of 2008 and first finished in.. a very long time. I learned a lot doing this -- the first lesson being that there is such thing as working too much on a picture. Whoops. This is meant to be an illustration for a still-unnamed story of mine about a star that falls from the heavens.

Ironically, when I went to look up Zaniah on wikipedia to figure out where she was in the Virgo constellation, there was a message (deleted now, as it was of the tinfoil hat variety) that in 2445, radiation from Zaniah will apparently destroy the world. Go figure.

Adobe Photoshop CS3, Intuos3. Inspired by Alphonse Mucha and Garbage.

What magic exists that could be powerful enough to banish the knowledge from my heart that I had once been loved? Not even death can do so much.

Only thing that irks me, as a point of criticism is that the forearm seems very inverted, concave even.

I think my favorite part is the background because it's just awesome. But the whole entire thing is just awesome.
