Description I'm a huge Ah! My Goddess fan, and perpetrate many acts of fanart accordingly. This was my entry for a "Create Your Own Goddess" contest at goddess-project.net. I had been doodling Freya for a while, and decided to flesh her out for the contest. Like the Norse goddess of her namesake, she is the goddess of defensive war (her twin brother, Freyr, being the god of offensive war). She collects the souls of fallen female warriors throughout the universe to fight alongside her as Valkyries. Her angel is Undying Valor, whose element of power is bolts or currents of pure energy. I tied for first, but lost the tie-breaker... my story was pretty weak compared to the winner, so I accepted 2nd place gladly.

Some of the best classes I've taken were at the local community college. I highly recommend Life Drawing if you're having trouble with people. I've taken 5 Life Drawing classes, and my art improves every time I take one.

Aw, that sucks. If you really are interested in learning more, I can link you to a bunch of good tutorials. I also *really* found the book "Drawing Dynamic Comics" by Andy Smith to be extremely helpful. It shows you how to draw lots of different poses and body types.

Merowynn In reply to JadineR [2010-03-23 05:54:55 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. No color ref yet... I guess I really should do one. ^_^; She's supposed to be in shades of gold, with pale blond hair, and Valor has gold eyes and white-blond hair.

Merowynn In reply to Anasatcia [2009-12-15 08:44:20 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I always wanted to design her twin brother, Freyr... He'd have this giant sword instead of a big staff like hers. But finding the time to do it is always the issue.

That and you put so much detail into it too! I say draw him! The AMG world doesn't have enough male gods/demons at all! Also, I've started a section in the gallery for original AMG characters too.

Merowynn In reply to Anasatcia [2009-12-15 08:55:02 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, the AMG world could definitely use a little more testosterone.

I saw that, but at the moment it says "This folder is not currently open for submissions."

Awesome, sounds great. If you want to post it in your own gallery, that's cool too as long as you link the original drawing.

You a huge amount of talent & I enjoy every piece in your gallery definatly adding you to faves. This is my favorite piece because it seems to be a pure creation derivied from something you love. There is definatly a simple eligance in your attention to detail that just makes your artwork pop. Your art is definatly an insperation as well as your calling card. If you never signed a piece of your work again I would still be able to choose your work. your a great talent
