We Are of the Going Water

Description

Can't you see where memories are kept bright?
Tripping on the water like a laughing girl.
Time in her eyes is spawning past life,
One with the ocean and the woman unfurled,
Holding all the love that waits for you here.
Catch us now for I am your future.
A kiss on the wind and we'll make the land.
Come over here to where When lingers,
Waiting in this empty world,
Waiting for Then, when the lifespray cools.
For Now does ride in on the curl of the wave,
And you will dance with me in the sunlit pools.
We are of the going water and the gone.
We are of water in the holy land of water
And all that's to come runs in
With the thrust on the strand.

~ Kate Bush, "The Jig of Life"


Back in the days before she was the Admiral, Trean was the only Shadowkind on the globe who had come from her own world, at least as far as she knew, until she was contacted by the woman who would one day become the galactic Empress: Orethiel. Seeking companionship from someone who knew her home, Trean accepted Orethiel's offer to host her and Zarael, Trean's then-lover, at her home at Halawa Bay on Hawaii's Molokai Island. I imagine that in her later days, Trean still has a lot of fond memories of the time she and Zarael were there, especially since that was where they really fell in love with each other, whatever else was yet to happen between them. :heart:

This... took me a while. :faint: It was one of those ones that started as an idea, and it ended up growing way beyond that into something much, much better-looking than I thought it would or even COULD be. I've... never bothered painting water, or especially waves, before in PS, kind of chalking it up to one of those things I'd never be able to do, so this is me trying it with the help of some excellent tutorials by `jezebel and `Dianae. And let me say, it was tricky but SO MUCH FUN! :omfg: I never expected that! For the first time ever, doing a background was really enjoyable and fun. This piece was a ton of work, but I really did love doing it (except the digital inking and the flats, but I never like doing those), and I hope it shows. :meow:
