River of Tears..
It tells the tragic story of Niobe.. A mortal woman in Greek mythology, Niobe, daughter of a wicked king and son of Zeus; Tantalus and Euryanassa. She was the wife of Amphion. One night she boasted of her superiority to Leto because she had fourteen children (Niobids), seven male and seven female, while Leto had only two. Apollo killed her sons as they practiced athletics, with the last begging for his life (Apollo would have spared his life, but had already released the arrow), and the virgin goddess of the hunt and the moon; daughter of Leto and twin sister of Apollo; identified with Roman Diana) Artemis, her daughters. Apollo and Artemis used poisoned arrows to kill them, though according to some versions a number of the Niobids were spared (Chloris, usually). Amphion, at the sight of his dead sons, either killed himself or was killed by Apollo after swearing revenge. A devastated Niobe fled to Mount Sipylus in Asia Minor and turned into stone as she wept, or committed suicide. Her tears formed the river Achelous. Zeus had turned all the people of Thebes to stone and so no one buried the Niobids until the ninth day after their death, when the gods themselves entombed them. ---- Her tears got lost in the small version so : click for a detail shot Notice how even half of her wings are made of stone, sorry just had to mention that. I must say I'm quite proud of this piece. It took FOREVER. Probably most time I ever spent on a manip. I tried a million different colours and a million different backgrounds. And I'm finally satisfied after days (and nights) of hard work. Big thank you to =BlueBlack who let me use one of her gorgeous limited stock photos.  And of course to ~Dantes-Stock for the statue/lower part of her body. To ~wroth from =resurgere for the ever so wonderful sky images To ~vanity-insecurity for the tears tutorial, very useful and to sxc.hu for the rest of the pictures I used. credit for the border goes to `aleksandra I think/hope I got my inspiration back. |

 reports, 20h 20m agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.59 WE.LOVE.ART.FEATURE.VII.HOLIDAY.SPECIAL.~allieweasley
