The last one of this series that has been a lot of fun, and has taught me mountains about digital painting. The first one was May 2007, and I think i made some progress since then ^^

-----------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION written by the talented [link]

A laughter echos through Forever; joyous, exhuberent, wild and carefree. It is the Cleanser of Souls; Fejiira, the Mistress of Fire, the last of the sisters.

She dances through Time, enjoying the moment, living for the present. Springing from her footsteps are flames which flicker and glow in time to the Song only she hears. She is surrounded by them, her bare feet quickly spinning round and round, the glow of the flames reflecting on the dark of her skin.

An eerie smile graces her face - anything that her flames touches fades, withers and then crumbles into ash and dust. This amuses her, pleases her, and her dance grows ever faster and faster.

True to the nature of her Element, her mind is the least stable of all; mood changes can occur within the span of less than a minute, and when truly enraged, woe to he who crosses her.

Beside her is her Guardian. With fur of gold and markings of ash, he dances alongside her. Small in size, yet as lithe as the flames, he leads his young charge through the Dance, careful to guide her as to what should be cleansed.

And his guidance is truely needed, for she throughly enjoys her role - to take life away and destroy it. It is only through that, that a Soul can truly be cleansed of all impurities and thus reborn into a much purer form. Enjoys it too much, so much so that she takes an almost masochistic pleasure in her duties. Without him, she will run as free as her Elemental represents, becoming more and more carried away until there is nothing left to Dance for.

Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don't go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a shit.

Til du som henger i enden av pendelen
Ta større fart og sving innom Himmelen
Og er ikkje Himmelen stort nok kick for deg
ikkje sei eg har sagt dette
Sleng en femmer i karusellen frå Helvete
