The Morrigan

This piece was a "Character of the Week" for Concept Art.
The assignment was a depiction of "The Morrigan" - a Celtic goddess of war and death. The Celtic gods and goddesses of myth form the foundation for the "Sidhe" or "fairies" of Irish folklore. So my concept was a figure that combines fey features with the "perfect" form and figure of a divine entity.
Crows are her signature creature and I added the skulls to impart a necromantic spirit to the piece.
