SciFi and Fantasy Art Angel of Nature by Vilhelmina Ullemar Lönnbom

Quite a bit of symbolism going on in this one, but I'll leave it up to you to try and figure it out. ;) Can't quite remember what sparked this, other than that I had had a lot of tea. I really enjoyed drawing her wings a lot, yes I did.

This picture was painted in openCanvas 4.03 Plus. I use a Wacom Volito tablet. Completed in June 2006.

You may NOT take this picture, in part or whole, and use it anywhere without my permission, regardless of the purpose(s) and the reason(s). Duplication in any form is also strictly forbidden.

15 Jun 2006	Ellie	Loading... Yay! first comment. I just adore the wings and how each feather is placed and i just wish i could do that! The way you have entwined the roots of the tree around the arms is incredible too. Just can't wait to see more work! Vilhelmina Ullemar Lönnbom replies: "I'm sure you can -learn- to do that, in any case. I really had never tried it seriously before this picture, but then I read this lovely tutorial on how to draw bird-like wings, and some of it just stuck. Thank you for your comment, I hope to see you around! "
28 Jun 2006	Lise-Lott Humble	Loading... Wow, nice! ~Lisen~ Vilhelmina Ullemar Lönnbom replies: "Thank you, Lisen! "
15 Oct 2007	Leif Eriksson	Loading... Interesting concept, I like it! Her anatomy looks great, so do the wings and the tree, all very realistic. Her body looks very natural, did you use any sort of reference? One small suggestion, adding a shadow at the bottom gets rid of that she’s floating look. Vilhelmina Ullemar Lönnbom replies: "Thank you! And actually, I didn't have any reference for this, but it was very late at night. That's usually when I lose control over the logical half of my brain (well, relatively speaking, of course) and can set the creative one free. And you're right about the shadow - I probably should've thought of that myself, but as I said, late nights. They have both their good and not so good sides, apparently. Thanks for the comment, anyway!"
21 Jul 2009	Natalie Adams	Loading... reminds me of norse legend - the Tree of Life (can’t ever spell its correct name). awesome wings! Vilhelmina Ullemar Lönnbom replies: "Now that you mention it I have heard a lot of thos legends and it’s not entirely unlikely that I was somehow subconciously inspired. ;D"
