Lady of the Contained Light

An old female character design that I suddenly remembered and had to try painting. She is the keeper of a jar of golden light which can bestow abundance and good things to those whom she discerns needs it.

This is a re-design, as I completely forgot her old design and instead went with the Greco-Roman influences that I constantly surround myself with now. Her hairstyle is influenced by the Roman Vestal Virgins' hairstyle, and the jar is closer to an amphorae than an usual jar. The bottom of the jar is actually more pointed, like the amphorae found in Roman ships for transport.

I got to use my new Finetec Gold paints for this one, and they are glorious! So lovely and shiny! It really brings home the magic of the jar's contents that I always had in mind.
