leannan-sidhe

Ah, see what can become of a small hair practice piece?
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 . She is just fabulous and has hair to die for. See the original picture here: [link]

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