Sympathetic Magicby `hibbary

Anthro / Traditional Media / Mixed Media

Many anthropologists believed that the cave paintings are a kind of sympathetic magic, that to depict a lot of game means to have the power to catch that game, or to ensure their numbers. The huntress here is envoking such a magic so that her people might be prosperous.

Very impressive picture.
I like the soft colours, especially on the body of the cat lady. The human hair is a nice touch too.

Now this really impresses me. You never really see an ancient creature mixed with human, y'know.

I love the colours and the swirling patterns. Your huntress looks good too, nice grasp on anatomy.

o__o I don't really understand your artist comment bit. but I do think that those little animals you drew into the 'magic' is damn awesome! So many and they don't look distorted or overly simplified. ^^

I didn't know that about cave paintings.
Beautiful work. I like the depiction of the magic, and that the cave paintings look like they're running out of the huntress' hands.
