Nike of Personal Passion

After I made the "Angel of Feminine Self Esteem" I decided to try using her wings to this figure, whom I felt totally deserved her wings after that whole jerk with that episode in the mall that ruined her. Poor dear! So, I edited her wings and it took a bit of effort, not just cut and paste, to make them fit & work.

So, now we go from just a dancer, to a Nike, which is a kind of "Winged Victory" goddess from Ancient Greek culture, like a Muse or elemental.

What I most like about her is her face/expression.

Wow! Your stuff is all over the art portal today!

It's refreshing to see so many great works by the same artist! ...Are you new to Newgrounds?

I really love the positioning of the wings in this one. Of all things I've ever had difficulty drawing -- wings were always one of them, so I can't help but have a huge appreciation for someone who can draw them so well. :)

..And, if I may be so bold -- (this thought even surprises me--) the bikini seems slightly out of place. If anything, this character reminds me slightly of Venus de Milo, or any other ancient Greek statues -- (the topless ones, I mean) nudity definitely wouldn't hurt the magnificence of this piece -- even something a little more romanesque for her top-half would compliment it moreso. :)

..Just my humble opinion, of course! XD

Great work!!!
5/5 10/10

BlackUniGryphon responds:

Yeah, this was originally intended to be a nude, but because of some jerk I had to clothe her.

It's a long story.

I hate the bikini, honestly. :-(

I wouldn't really say I was "new" I used to watch New Grounds alot in the 1999-2001 back in college.

Then I got married and had a kid.

I got my account here I think in like 2004 or something... I forget...

At that time I had alot of trouble with the site, stuff wouldn't upload and people were so mean to me. So, I wasn't around for a while after that. I just recently had the urge to show up again... next thing I knew I was uploading art....
