In the Welsh mythology, Annwyn (Annwn) is the Other World, the place between life and death. I have already been inspired by this theme, for example in "The Other World". "Annwyn, Beneath the Waves" is also the title of the second album by Faith and the Muse, one of my favourite bands. A place of water created by the sea and the ocean, where dead souls are condemned to wander.

I spent about 10 hours on this manip. It wasn't that easy, above all concerning the hair which I have painted. At the beginning I wanted to make something more fairy-like, with woods, but it didn't fit my idea. The Sea is definitely one of my biggest inspiration, as well as the Irish and Welsh mythologies. I wish I could go there again...

Oh, my God... that is frikken amazing, sweetie! You are so beautiful. I love the way the hair tendrils flow out, kind of like they have a mind of their own.
Now it's time for September 2008 Visual Art Features, many new art to discover!
Don't forget that many artists need to be viewed, they deserve it! Fave Fave Fave! My main purpose in doing a monthly feature about (to my point of view) 'the best visual art' is to put in the same level as well wellknown artists and popular creations as unknown artists and under-exposed creations. Artists need to be supported. So don't be shy!
Visit their pages, support them by faving, commenting, and when you see a deviation that you like also view their gallery entirely, like that you can decide if you will devwatch them or not. Viewing only a deviation (what is great) is not enough
And if you want to see your favorite visual artists or art selected to be in this feature for the next month, send me via note the links/thumbs!
`arcipello's artwork is instantly recognisable. His vibrant colours and sci-fi scenes are breathtaking at times, pulling you into a world where man and machine live in colourful harmony.
An inspiration to many, Daniel's dedication to his craft is evident throughout his gallery, with many of his beautiful prints hanging on walls across the globe. In recognition as being one of the most successful artists in our deviantART community, we're delighted to award this month's Deviousness Award to `arcipelloRead More
