Original - Down by the River

" I really like this, the pearlescent gives the wet appearance and added intrigue. The scale is sort of ambiguous which I think sets it up beautifully as almost anything. Kind of how old medieval styles would depict only gods nude, this could be read as a fairy, brownie, nymph or anything fey adjacent.

The pose especially makes the character seem emotionally distant facing away, hair wet drawn forward over the shoulder and the slight lean in the posture feels as though it’s communicating a disconnected feeling all while capturing a snapshot glimpse at something through the reeds like as if the viewer strayed from a path to find this figure seated at the edge of a stream or pond."

A lovely description from my friend Mat Cha.
