Description

^{tara shakti mantra..
“..land of mountains
land of the kings..”

MUSICAL INSPIRATION;;
Tara Shakti Mantra by ERA (Oliver Shanti & Friends)

BEHIND THIS IMAGE;;
Something a little different from my usual artwork. I've had this idea buzzing around in my head for a couple of weeks now and upon finding this epic lioness stock, I flew with it. Worked solidly through and through on it for around 3hrs and 50mins (when I was supposed to be looking for a job! LOL) Had an overdose of ERA in my ear too, this piece is based off the actual song entitled "Tara Shakti Mantra.." from the album "Looking From East" which is all chinesey/japanesey and far east sounding music, the more I listened to it the more it engrained itself into my piece and before I knew it it was like the music eminated from it; our lioness all regal sitting on her throne blazed awash with light... I liked the idea!

PLEASE;; NO CRITIQUES OR NIT-PICKING WANTED! Nit-Pick or Crit and your comment will be hidden! Don't bitch or complain to me because you didn't read!

IMPORTANT
So that you can view my artwork the way that I created it in its full colour and shades, please check your monitors settings; and that you can see all the gradients of colours on this test >> [link] - thank you
