Artist's Comments
A portrait of Morrígan, loosely based on the bronze mask-brooch find from Czechoslovakia dating back to mid-4th century BC.
She's often seen as a war deity, fore-telling deaths, but with her association to cattle she can also be considered as a deity of sovereignty, wealth and fertility I initially wanted to make her style more similar to the portrait that I made of Lugh; [link] But she had other things in mind, and kept sending me left to right and wasting many sketches along the way. In all I'm VERY happy with the result, but I have to admit that it's unlike anything I've ever done when it comes to styling. |

It's nigh inconceivable that this isn't an object sitting on a bit of felt in a museum somewhere.

St. Francis said,
“A man who uses his hands is a laborer. One who uses his hands and mind is a craftsman. He who uses his hands, and his mind, and his heart is an artist.”
Plus I love that you focused on the more "positive" aspects of Morrigan, rather than just the War and Death, like most do.
Seriously though, how long does a picture like this take, with all the crazy shading?

If you belive that same sex marriges should be legal copy and paste this in your signature
To second one of the other comments, it's good to see a Morrigan piece that doesn't focus so much on the war / death aspect of this goddess.
