Conclusion

The fight was more balanced now. Isis's hair gave her extra limbs and eyes, making up immensely for her lack of experience. My heightened awareness gave me a clear image of everything that was happening around me.
In a way, it was too balanced.
We had been circling each other for what seemed like an eternity, neither of us being able to land a blow on the other. I would dart in and be blocked by a spurt of hair, then I would dart away and leave Isis without an easy target. She would launch several different clumps of hair at me and I would dip around them, then she would curl her hair about her and leave me without an o

Evolution

Fear began to show in her eyes and they quivered as they met mine. I don't know what she saw in my eyes, but I was positive that there wasn't a lot of sympathy. Her breathing was fast, her chest rising and falling with increasing rapidity. Mine was even, a product of hours of conditioning and training. Her hands were cold and shaky as they tried to move my arms off her shoulders. Mine were firm, heavy and still as they held her to the ground. Her body was tense, writhing and wriggling, trying to find a way out. Mine was relaxed, letting my weight keep her at a disadvantage. She was weak, I was strong.
And yet, I was in turmoil.

Realization

Maybe I could increase my chances of survival if I throw rocks in all those Eyes.
I leapt back as a giant fist made of intertwined hair strands attempted to squash me. One of the eyes in question glared at me from the back of the hand. I decided to continue backpedalling.
The fight had become much more of a challenge now. Isis's hair had no limit to its range of motion, nor to its length. It could sprout eyes at any point and form any sort of shape Isis could imagine. It also acted like a pack of wolves, herding me around like an injured deer. An image of wolves tearing into a helpless doe sprung to mind. Was it a coincidence that

Conquest of Paradiseby *Kiki-Tayler

Traditional Art / Paintings / Illustration / Storybook

One of the assignments my art teacher hands us is a Rhythm Assignment. We are to take a song of our choice and draw the beat, tempo and rhythm of the song. The song I chose is the Conquest of Paradise by Vangelis from the album 1492. I hear that the music was written for a movie, but I've never seen it and came to this image on my own. This [link] takes you to a video with the song in it. I highly recommend listening to it will staring at the work.
I promise not to get made if you then choose to reply the song and stare at my artwork some more. ;D

Thank you! it was a lot of fun to do.

~MewKaylathevampire Feb 28, 2013

I really like your waves. The moons add to the 'rhythm' of the piece!

This is really beautiful. I especially like how you did the sea spray--I never thought that a cluster of crescents could do that!

*Kiki-Tayler Feb 28, 2013 Student Traditional Artist

Thank you! The crescents were my favorite part to do.
