N is for Nyx, the Greek goddess of the night.

~+~+~+~

This is part of a Photoshop Class assignment that we have. Essentially, we have to pick a theme, and then find a magazine picture or draw a drawing for each letter of the alphabet.

I chose the theme: Greek gods and goddesses. Because I love Greek mythology, and I'm stupid enough to draw 26 of them. I'm even taking it one step farther: eventually, I'll have 52 of them drawn to create a full deck of cards. Fun X).

Well, when I was deciding which deity I wanted to do for N, Nyx just stood out to me because she was goddess of the night... I LOVE drawing/coloring night-themed pictures, so I figured this was probably a good choice for me.

I had a lot of trouble CGing Nyx... the first sketch of Nyx was done by mouse, so it was quite sloppy, and the face looked quite awful. And the problem is, when I don't draw the face well... it's really hard to fix it later. Usually when I sketch, I draw the face first, then the hair, then the rest of the pic. That wasn't the case for this particular drawing... in this one, I drew the neck first, then chest, then arms and dress, and the head came last. REALLY weird.

I ended up redoing her face about 10 times before just sticking with this one... which I'm not ENTIRELY satisfied with, but satisfied enough to use.

As for her dress... homigawd man, I want it XD. At first, there weren't any patterns on it at all, which I found kinda boring... so then, I went overboard and just... drew intricate patterns all over the dress. Which, unfortunately, you can't really see on the submitted pic here. But to give you a little hint of how intricate it is: [link]

Yeah... so this picture took me awhile.

OH, and PLEASE do NOT say "She looks just like Hecate!!" Because she doesn't. Nyx has straighter hair, RED lips, a different dress, a differently structured face... I don't want to hear that you can't see the differences. If you can't, just keep it to yourself. I spent far too long on this pic to bear that sort of crap, LOL.

There WILL be a print available in the next couple of days! I hope that somebody buys a print... it'll show you all of the details that are on it, hehe.

There are flaws... but oh well XD

Note: I realize that Nyx's hand is a tad large... I'm sorry about that XD... if I have the incentive, I -may- fix the hand later... hehe.
And WOW, thanks for helping make this a DTF O_O;; *stunned*... I don't deserve it XD <333
