Description

Pele - Tale Of The Volcano Goddess ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Native Hawaiians knew all about volcanoes. According to them, volcanic eruptions were caused by Pele, the beautiful but tempestuous Goddess of Volcanoes. Pele had frequent moments of anger, which brought about eruptions. She was both honored and feared. She could cause earthquakes by stamping her feet or volcanic eruptions and fiery lava by digging with her Pa'oa, her magic stick. Pele had a long and bitter argument with her older sister, Namakaokahai. The fight ended up forming the Hawaiian Islands. First, Pele used her magic stick on Kauai, but she was attacked by her older sister and left for dead. Pele recovered and fled to Oahu, where she dug several "fire pits," including the crater we now called Diamond Head, in Honolulu. After that, Pele left her mark on the island of Molokai before traveling further southeast to Maui and creating the Haleakala Volcano. By then, Namakaokahai, Pele's older sister, realized she was still alive and she went to Maui to do battle. After a terrific fight, Namakaokahai again believed that she had killed her younger sister. But Pele was still alive and she was busy working at the Mauna Loa Volcano, on the big island of Hawaii. Finally, Namakaokahai realized that she could never crush her sister's indomitable spirit and she gave up the struggle. Pele dug her final and eternal fire pit, Halemaumau Crater, at the summit of Kilauea Volcano. She is said to live there to this day. - Information courtesy of the U.S. Geological Survey/Department of the Interior - ~~~~~~~~ My version of Pele... certainly not accurate.

Wow. Im impressed by the art, and equally impressed at your ability to keep track of where all your models and props came from. Your version of Pele is stunning to say the least.

A stunning interpretation of the goddess! Excellent and beautiful work, fiery and full of passion, the dragon is certainly symbolic of her power and potential for both creation and destruction.

Excellent composition. Great neat render. I like very much the colours of the background. Beautiful character, pose and expression. Nice suit, props and textures. That flicker of flame coming from the dragon's mouth is very good. And I thought Pele was a soccer player from Brazil! 8-) Vote.
