Description

:icondonotuseplz::iconmyartplz:

Inspired by "Something I Can Never Have" by NIN and "Like A Prayer" by Madonna. Kind of an oxymoronic partnership of music but nevertheless got me through this five-hour-long coloring job. I wanted to make sure that anything white was glowing; I hope I succeeded. Recently, I had my hair dyed so this woman has some similar features (purple with three white stripes), however my hair is very short. The color scheme is actually composed of all my favorite colors, which are black, red, white, and dark gray. Purple is also awesome, as well as blue, but I was determined to satisfy my eyes with these specifically.

According to Celtic Mythology, the White Lady, or Dryad of Death, was the goddess of death and destruction. She is also known as the Queen of the Dead. Other destructive goddesses included Macha, goddess of cunning, death, sheer physical force, war, who was also the protectoress in both battle and peace, and Scathach (Scau-ahch), goddess of healing, magic, martial arts, prophecy. Called the Shadowy One, She Who Strikes Fear, and the Dark Goddess. She was a warrior woman and prophetess who lived in Albion, possibly on the Isle of Skye, and taught martial arts.

You've heard of Mordecai "Demo" MacGregor, haven't you? Her middle name stands for more than her ancestor's name, which is Scathach. Scathach is also the giant tattoo on Darien Marshelly's back. In the story, Scatchach has striking resemblence to Demo.
