Merlin Zodiac Project: Aquarius (Sophia)
Title: Aquarius
Artist: nachte
Warnings: None
Character: Sophia
Notes: Sophia as Aquarius for the Merlin Zodiac Project.
Aquarius, the waterbearer, is associated with the air elemental, so I've incorporated a lot of flowing movement into the illustration as well as the wing of a giant bird. You'll find eleven beads in Sophia's hair as Aquarius is the eleventh sign of the Zodiac. Orchids are the birth sign flowers associated with Aquarius. Aquarius is also known as the pourer of the waters that flooded the Earth in the ancient Greek version of the Great Flood myth. You'll find the symbol of Aquarius as an armlet on Sophia's arm.
All in all, this was a fun illustration for me to do. The composition came together very quickly for me once I decided on the elements that I wanted to include. I look forward to all of the other illustrations! ♥
