Series: Tales of the Spirit World: The Fall of the Blue Spirit
Having drawn La three times, I figured I should at least draw some of the other Gods, at least once.  Sky-mother Tian is LOOSELY based on [the collective] Tara (तारा /Ārya Tārā and Jetsun Dolma (Tibetan: rje btsun sgrol ma) in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism. She is a tantric deity,concerned with virtue, enlightenment, and achievement.I tried to reference Tibetan mythos for her design, but that would have required making her white-skinned, and after La, it just seemed repetitive. (also, I think darker-skinned women are just prettier.  ) I did, however, reference Tibetan sources for her ornaments, including the jewel color scheme; white is for compassion, long life, healing and serenity, and black is for power (which is why all the jewels on her staff are black dur-hurr  ). The lotus crown is meant to represent purity.(I want that staff.) Comments
 ...When I look at her face, I begin feeling happy xD
I don't know why, it just makes me happy :3 -- I have a whole bunch of old junk in my messagebox which I need to clear, forgive me when I'm late with commenting, collecting or answering things  very beautiful! I really adore that staff... is awesome!
It makes me laugh think that, when I created the sky god for my fanfiction, it was a guy with blue skin and white tattoos XD -- If you support Ulquiorra's return, put this phrase in your signature. I've claimed Pinza Aguda - Sharp Pincer (Findor Carias) at ~Bleach-Crew <3 Me x Shipping: a true OTP xD  ...I want that staff also O.O
The way her scarf fades into the sky is soooooo pretty :3 The way you render clothing always astounds @_@ -- ~~~SioSama<>< How can I change the world when I can't change my pants? >>---> =^_^= <---<< PFF2 Account [link]  Oooh, one of those ringly jangly staffs! Those are awesome, and I want one myself. The Airbender pattern on the head is neat, too.
Like Sio said, the scarf fading into the sky is a nice touch. It's like she's coming out of the sky itself, which, you know, fits, seeing as she's Tian...XD I love the I Dream of Genie pants, too. XD -- Frustrated enough to be British.  pretty! she looks so happy and fun, i love the shawl thing and her expression is great
-- I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library. Jorge Luis Borges  The design is amazing! I love it!
-- When Chuck Norris goes to bed, he checks under the bed for Toph. "I wanna marry the toilet bowl" "Yo mama is so stupid, she watches Lucky Star for the plot!" Uncle Yo tian was always meant to be the "joyful" goddess, making her the perfect patron deity for the air nomads. :3
-- "The study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance. It is humbling to discover how many of our glib assumptions... have been tested before... and discovered to be, at great human cost, wholly false." - Paul Johnson like i said, i want one of those - when i was in japan, i visited temples aplenty, but never actually saw a monk with one. as far as i know, though, they're mainly ceremonial nowadays, and darn me and my infidel status insofar as Buddhist ritual is concerned. ):
the sky-fade aspect was somewhat last minute, but when i did it, it was a bit of, "oh duh, this is what i should have planned from the beginning!" -- "The study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance. It is humbling to discover how many of our glib assumptions... have been tested before... and discovered to be, at great human cost, wholly false." - Paul Johnson thank you!

I have a bit of a problem with the arm not holding the staff. With the way it's positioned, it looks like the length of arm between shoulder and elbow is too long, since the elbow is positioned way off from her body.
You'll also want to work on hips. Her's seem too thin to me.
Finally, her hands are noticably different sizes. the one holding the staff is quite a bit bigger. You'll want to watch out for that.
You've done a great job detailing realistic folds all over the fabrics. I always struggle with that. Good coloring and lineart all around. She's cute. ^_^
