Mhiet’e of the Dhuriiehm.

Closeups: [link] [link]

I painted her before, several years ago. Felt it was time to do an updated portrait. :) This was quite a long haul to get finished. I was working on it in the spring, but I had to set it aside because of my thesis. Was finally able to pick it up again last week when I returned from my holiday. :) On the plus side, I feel this is the best portrait I’ve done. I’m learning so much these days, with each new image. Everything is coming together in my head. It’s very rewarding.

Her tattoos were a nightmare. The script is an alphabet of my own invention, and spells out a poem in the accompanying language. So it’s not just random symbols; it’s legible.

Painter + Photoshop.

I pensieri stanno scavalcando la realtà, tra le notti che cancellano le quotidianità, tra le pagine di un diario che nessuno legge mai, tra la vita che vuoi e la vita che invece avrai..

Very, very, well done, Lauren.

I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,
And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker,
And in short, I was afraid.

Beautiful work. I love the lighting and her facial features.

Can you speak in this said language, or only write it?

I believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior. If you do too and aren't scared to admit it, then copy and paste this in your signature.

I have the "sound" of the language well-developed, but the vocabulary is somewhat lacking.
