It's Autumn in what will be known as the year 145 B.C.E. The location is somewhere in Central Europe. After a long and arduous journey, the chieftain of a village has managed to find the last water spirit remaining in his land and gives her an offering to add to her watery sanctuary.
The original is 3 feet by 1.5 feet, so it was a pain to scan in. I apologize for any minor inconsistencies that I couldn't fix from the scanning.
I'm glad I finally managed to create this picture, it was inside of me for a LONG time.

Awesome. I love it. The last water spirit, meaning you must be saying that they are vanishing maybe cause the onset of Christianity?
And wow, thats huge size for a drawing.

great details as always. tattoos on her feet, her sword half-immersed in water, the fetish by the tree on the left, the flora on the backgroud... not even mentioning the details on characters. nice work and story, congratulations again.

Thanks! As for the mane, in my defense, that is a historically accurate representation...but I can see why it cracks you up.

Glad you like it, this one took a while. As for the meaning of the story, I'll leave that up to you guys. 145 BCE is a little early for Christianity, but then again you could argue that the stage was being set...
As for the size, it was nice to be able to work on such a large piece of board but things like the border take three tiimes as long!

Awesome comment, thanks for taking the time to get a good look at it. I love detail, for me it is the part of drawing that I enjoy the most.

As long as it's historically accurate...nothing we can do about that is there? :D
