Legend of Diana: Part FourPart Four – Dark Side of the Moon

„Try a run, try a hide
Escape your only truth, for a while
Live the past, create a picture, it won't last
A million colors to a lie, it won't last...“

Diana swallowed hard. Unwillingly she squeezed Lun's hand to the point where her nails dug into his soft white skin, leaving deep red marks in it. The army marching towards the city was huge. She could see the remaining soldiers of Imbrium forming ranks at the city gate, but she knew they didn't stand a chance. They were largely outnumbered.

“Lun, what should we do?” she turned to look at him. “Those men are going to di

Legend of Diana: Part ThreePart Three – No More Hope

“I feel the hope running low
We never found our way home
There is no more world
The land is gone...”

It didn't take long after Diana left the house until her initial determination to bring the peace to her world started to fade. This was not because she suddenly lacked desire to lead a normal, happy life, but because she realized just how bad the situation in Imbrium was. And the other cities were only doing worse.

She walked to the main square first, the place where she used to spend a lot of time as a child. She used to meet all of her friends here, and then they would sit by the big fountai

Legend of Diana: Part TwoPart Two – In My Dreams

„And the moon will always smile
In my dreams, in my dreams
And the sun will always rise
In my dreams, in my dreams...”

That evening was the same as every other evening in the house of the main advisor of Imbrium. It began with his wife begging him to come down for supper, followed by his multiple refusals and a loud argument crowned with yelling, crying and slamming of the door. His wife would then sit on the top stair in resignation, completely forgetting that her daughter was waiting for her in the dining room.

Diana was listening to her parents' fight in silence. A few weeks ago she would sti

Legend of Diana: Part OnePart One – Lunar Wars

“On a mission, another setting sun
There is no time to waste
One obsession, keeping me on the run
The vision won't fade away...”

The events I shall describe take place long before you were born, and long before your mother's mother was born. All this happened at a time when the surface of the Moon was covered in green rather than silvery gray, when you could hear the sounds of water, of animals, of laughter, and of music resounding from every corner of that now quiet world.

A long, long time ago, there were lively little cities on the Moon, much like the ones on Earth. These cities were separat

Caffeinated Steampunkby ~silver-eyes-blue

Traditional Art / Mixed Media / Fantasy

OMG, my very first DD!!!!

Now, if this isn't a motivation to become even better in the future, then I don't know what is!

Thank you to all those who faved and commented on this piece, and of course a huge thanks to =natalia-luz for suggesting and to ^Mollinda for featuring it!

...

It's that time of the month again.

I was a very angry and aggressive little bunny today. And what better way to get rid of the anger but by painting something random?

I do wonder why all my best work is created during my angry or depressed phases at "that time of the month". -___-; Can I not be creative when I am in a good mood, and NOT bleeding?

Anyway, this was painted using COFFEE. Yes, as in, real coffee. I tried using coffee for painting before, after I saw some other artists use it, but somehow I always failed. I feel it is less forgiving as a medium than watercolors are.

But today, somehow, it worked out.

I am really happy about the result. And for once I didn't have to fear drinking out of my paint cup by accident and poisoning myself.

The lines were done in brown colored pencil (my favorite one, which is twice shorter than all the other pencils in the box, haha), and some highlights were added in white ink.

The steampunkish elements were added at the request of my husband. Recently I introduced him to the idea of "steampunk", and he fell in love. (I mean, he IS a mechanic, what else was to be expected?)

So this will be my present for him and our new house.

Also, a special dedication to

, because she is always a source of inspiration, and because I thought she might like this one.

Inspired by and loosely referenced off

's stock:

I could go on forever about how beautiful and inspiring this girl is.

The original is lighter and has less red tones than the scan ( and it looks lovelier), but you know how things are with traditional artwork and scanners. So I enhanced the contrast to make it look nicer on my monitor, and I actually like this version now, too. Both versions (the original one and the edited scan) have their charms for me.

My monitor is on the lighter side, though, so if it looks too dark or too saturated on yours, lemme know.

Hope you like it too!
