Inspired by the beautiful melody of Debussy’s ‘Clair de Lune’. It made very relaxing bedtime lullaby. I’ve played it so many times. The serene and wistful quality of it then somehow morphed into a dreamy meadow in my head, and then Drarry happened (heh). Then I drew it.
Surprisingly, when I googled the history of this masterpiece, Debussy appeared to wrote this piece inspired by Paul Verlaine's (1890) poem with the same name. He believe that art should appeal to the sense, not just the intellectual aspect. He produced a series of tone poem then. This is Paul Verlaine’s poem :
Your soul is as a moonlit landscape fair,
Peopled with maskers delicate and dim,
That play on lutes and dance and have an air
Of being sad in their fantastic trim.
The while they celebrate in minor strain
Triumphant love, effective enterprise,
They have an air of knowing all is vain,-
And through the quiet moonlight their songs rise,
The melancholy moonlight, sweet and lone,
That makes to dream the birds upon the tree,
And in their polished basins of white stone
The fountains tall to sob with ecstasy.
Pretty much the impression from what I heard of ‘Clair de Lune’.
Aelka the Mergirl and the Nuzzling Tentacley Thing. I like my mermaid fishier than Ariel. And better if they had gills. And more fins.
Aelka, like all mystical creatures, has veeery long life span. She’s about 60 human years, but to compare the maturity level she’s about 11 y.o. human children age. She has the quality of human appearance, that’s why she still has nose and eyelashes and ears [albeit very fishy ones]. I think the more mature she grow, she’ll shed her scales around the chest area cus she’s just like us women and need to grow boobs to breastfeed the fishy babies. :D hmm, I’m thinking of the merpeople breeding some sheep-fishy-thing for their clothes. It just impolite to flash some innocent [fishy] eyes. Well, I think I’m done rambling. :p
