To lead an army into war;
To conquer the enemy's fields;
To kill the beast guarding the treasure;
To dive into the sea to find the pearls;
To speak against those who rule you...
or to touch the savage beast?

What actually is fortitude about?
she thought.


Fortitudo - the 3rd painting in my series of the Seven Virtues; all painted in Photoshop 7.
Reference used: A photo of myself in the woman's pose; and a lion photo I googled somewhere.
And yeah, I know the perspective's messed up :P

Lies Of Vernacular Expressions is all this world consists of.

If I had just one wish, I would ask for truth.

It takes two to open the door of friendship. One to unluck it, and the other to turn the nob, but it only takes one friend to shut it foreve

This is a beautiful piece. I love all of the colours and her face and the bg are beautiful. I do have some critisism though. The arm that is petting the lion... the shading is very akward and makes that area look very flat. There should be more lights on the top parts of the arm. The darkest part of the arm should be the middle. I hope this makes sence... I am not very good at telling what I mean... I am much better at showing.

Though my soul is set in darkness,
I shall rise in perfect light.
For I have loved the stars too fondly,
To be fearful of the night.
