(2009) 9"x12" pencil, ink, watercolor, silver leaf, photographed and framed in Photoshop
Even though the star stone for Scorpio is sometimes designated as opal, I decided on something that would have more of a color impact and went with the dramatic black of onyx. The idea of opal still lingers in the shades of green of the page and in the waves that surround the central image. In the end I was surprised how "Slytherin" my Scorpio looked, but for the fixed water sign that's not too bad an association.
Personally I consider Scorpio my shadow sign: while the sun hung out in Leo for my birth chart, most other planets lurked around in Scorpio, including the moon.
This is very good, I love the shade of jade green you have used here, it contrasts very nicely with the black. Also loving the japan-esque waves working with the art neuveau frame.
I'm a Scorpio. I am worried by the expression of 'sudden understanding' followed by 'deep thought' that astrology savvy people seem to always exhibit when they find out that I'm a Scorpio. What exactly are they realising??

Very cool, Elly! Thanks to the colors you chose, the layering of the background text and the scroll work makes an especially lovely and delicate pattern. Is the shading on the scroll work (that is, lighter at the top than the bottom) the natural effect of the silver leaf, or did you shade it? Either way, the graduation is a nice touch
Woo hoo, it's about time! I love this one...very cool! Though for some reason I expected it would be orange. No clue why. Very nice scorpion and I personally love the SLytherin colors. Hehehe!

I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily 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.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P

I love the colors you chose--and the onyx opal really does stand out and make an impact on the rest of it.
Wonderful job!
