Artist's Comments

Ah, see what can become of a small hair practice piece? :D
I didn't even plan to make this a real complete work, but somehow, I got lost in it, and it turned out nicely.

About the title: A Leannan-sidhe is a fairytale figure form Celtic mythology. She is part vampire and part sidhe. She can inspire poets and artists, but there is a price to pay: they all have to die an early death.

The amazing stock picture came from :iconrixu-stock:. She is just fabulous and has hair to die for. See the original picture here: [link]

The hummingbirds were drawn with the help of :iconshoofly-stock:s 3-D models.

Thanks again for sharing! :heart:

BTW: I loooove hummingbirds! My newest obsession. :giggle:

I love how luscious her hair looks. I just want to touch it. Her skin also looks really gorgeous, too. :D Terribly, terribly pretty!

Great use of the hummingbirds, too. The coloring of the green one is really fab.

*AngelicKitty89 makes me squee! Go fave stuff!!!

All that I am and ever will be has grown from what I was,
My silver linings in great black clouds,
And your hand as it curls up with mine.

At any moment we could die.
The tragedy is that we don't.

dance like no one's watching
sing like no one's listening...

There's always something different going wrong
The path I walk is in the wrong direction
There's always someone f***ing hanging on
Can anybody help me makes things better?
