I moved back, away from the more and more stylised visions of underwater girls I’ve done, recently…
… back to the way I was initially making them…
… a much more dream-like vision…
… more Ophelia-like…
… more mysterious…
… the more ‘Lowbrow’ style was fun to pursue…
… but this dark dream style is what I like most.
My flaming beauties evolved into sun goddesses…
… magnificent creatures…
… who embody the power of the sun…
… not just in a literal sense…
… but in the actual sense…
… of being living vessels of flame, who cannot be consumed by flame. Understandably these beings are treated with considerable respect (:
After they have lived for a thousand years or so, the bodies of the Elite begin to succumb to entropy that no amount of bio-engineering can fix, more and more mutation effects them. They start to replace their decaying body parts with cybernetic parts…
… they begin to look less and less like humans, and more and more like machines…
… as another thousand years go by, their organic minds subtly change… even though they are still the minds of humans, they are no-longer human, they are transcendent. They begin to embrace their transcendence…
… turning themselves into gorgeous, humanoid art forms…
… and though vanity makes them keep a human visage…
… they are no longer human.
