Description Zora Djevojka (Dawnmaiden) is a spirit from Croatian Tales from Long Ago collection of faerytales written by Ivana Brlic Mazuranic.

Dawnmaiden rises from the sea every morn with the firs rays of sun in her silver boat with golden paddles. And to the people that abide her for three days and three nights not fishing, she grants a single wish. But sometimes she gave you not what you want but what you need, and that is her greatest gift...

Detail from this painting can be seen here. For Dawnmaden pose I used on of stock photos , as a reference. Also I used some brushes from resources here on Deviantart, one of them is [link] made by .

It's a very sententious story as faerytales usually are, and there are a lot of other interesting spirits there too...

a sto ces kad sam djetinjasta...jos uvijek sam zaljubljena u bajke, a ostale svjetski poznate bajke su vec tisucu puta prozvakane u slikama, tako da mi je ostala samo nasa mitologija.

kazu da treba jako paziti sto se zeli jer bi to mogli i dobiti, kao kaznu vjerojatno... barem sam je tako shvatila tu bajku, a i zivot mi je to demonstrirao...

nejna In reply to irinarichards [2006-07-21 05:18:30 +0000 UTC]

pure Photoshop programm, I don't think I would be able to get those effects with any traditional medium that I know of.

I wanted it to look like traditional painting, with visible brush strokes and so on, but I'm not sure I would be able to pull this one with acrylic!

Oh my! I almoust forgot cirilic... Is that russian or? I understand what you have said but can't decide in what language it is... Thank you for compliment, it took me really a lot of time to finish this picture, it's only my second piece in Photoshop, so I'm not skilled for anything better.

It's an awesome pic! Very well drawn
So do you speak Russian or...?

well all Slavic languages have the same roots of words, so we can understand each oder to some level. Well enough not to starve when we stuck in some foreign Slavic country, but not enough to speak on some higher levels, and have a normal conversation.
Thank you once again on the compliment!

O da, da, to je to!!!

Boje su fenomenalne! Super, sjajne, prekrasne!

Ja bih joΕ‘ moΕΎda samo malo izoΕ‘trila more pri dnu - ili ga malo odrezala - da ne kvari ravnoteΕΎu.
Ali sve ostalo je savrΕ‘eno.
Svaka čast!

Hvala! je trebala sam koristit neke druge brushove za more, al i ovako sam se namucila ko pas... napravila sam tri razlicite verzije mora, i ako je ova najbolja onda si mozes zamisliti koliko su druge bile grozne. Kad uhvatim vremena probat cu spasit stvar sa nekim drugim cetkicama, bar photoshop ima tu prednost da u beskonacnost mozes popravljati...
