This image began as a pen and marker drawing on paper, which I then scanned digitally to finish in Adobe Photoshop. I ended up creating two versions, and was unable to decide which one I preferred, so I'm uploading them both. :) Extended desicription: An image of a long haired woman seated on an invisible floor, facing directly to the right of the image, feet tucked under her, and curly hair pulled back in a ponytail. Her hands rest on her legs, elbow bent softly. She sits tall, head up, back slightly curved and chest lifted. Emanating from her eyes is what appears to be a beam of patterns, possibly symbols and characters, dominated by shades of red in the middle and on the edges. Bright aqua creates contrast on the very outer edges, and dark blue accents are visible in the middle, as well as a thin string of white, cursive-like patterning in the very center. Between the mostly red areas are strips of patterning in golden yellow. Rays of a similar yellow emanate from the outer edges of the beam. The beam spirals outwards and curls behind the figure, haloing her head as it does so. The figure herself is rendered in much the same colours as the beam, with markings of seafoam green accenting her body. A beveled white line art is superimposed over this. Its finished lines curve and curl to make the shape of the figure, in contrast with the gestural markings underneath. Behind all of this is a background of black, contrasting with the spectrum of bright colours that make up the image.
