Do you have an alter ego?

in art •  8 years ago  (edited)

I have spent today working on my superhero alter ego mask. The painting is based on the concept of Ophelia, from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, rising from the waters and taking on super human strength and powers. I suppose it’s sort of Shakespeare’s Ophelia meets the Black Widow, an obvious combination! I think this is who my alter ego superhero character would be!

She doesn’t have a name. Maybe you could help with that?

The picture is mixed media. Materials used are watercolours, paint pens, pencil crayon, tissue paper, netting, newspaper, bubble wrap and gold foil.

Steemit Cat as sidekick!

Follow me @opheliafu , and maybe tell me the name of your superhero alter ego?

Love Ophelia the character, and love the idea of bringing her back to life :)

Resteemed!

Thanks Goldmatters- I wasn't going to share the idea behind it as I though people may think I've been on the gin ( I haven't), but then I thought so what if it sounds wacky!! Share away!

Don't doubt yourself :) you are super creative ! BTW I finally figured out how to post (I think) :):)

She definitely looks like a Ivy ... Eye Vie... get it ok lol looks fab

Eye Vie Serpentine.

Yeah beautiful name I think :)

I love the details and the textures of your art very much. Especially that you often mix in some words. I guess, I will have to refresh my Shakespeare to get to know what your alter ego is about.

Thank you, I do enjoy putting texture into my pieces. I suppose it's a little lost on the computer screen.

The images on screen might not look as detailed as in real life, but as you always provide us lot's of close-ups, I guess the details are pretty much visible.

The concept and the painting is just superb @opheliafu !

Thank you @cynetyc , happy you liked the concept.

always love the colors you mixed

Thank you @bontonstory , the type of watercolours really helps too.

She doesn’t have a name. Maybe you could help with that?

Maybe Serpentine?

Wow that's a good one!

Lovely your style of panting and choice of colour, so feminine really !! the round flowing forms say this to me !

I like curves in my work 😆

Awesome!

Fantastic!!!!

Hmmmm, if i told you that id have to....)))

Thank you @halo , nice to have a new follower!

cool work!

I don't know what name to give but I have always liked your ninja cat :) The Steemit cat as sidekick is a great idea :)

She's a side kick by default as she never leaves my side!

opheliafu, it's so beautiful. I always enjoyed art, but because of steemit, my appreciation for art has grown considerably. You are blessed. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you @runridefly , fantastic that you are getting into all this art on Steemit!

Great artwork, I think it is the colours that I often love best! The blues, violets purples etc. Flipping magic!

And I think we all have an alter ego. I certainly do!

Does your alter ego come to life after your hot chilli recipes? 😁

Haha, yes indeed he does!!! :0)

Especially after that chilli bread?!

That particularly yes! :0)

I have an alter ego but I never thought to even attempt to draw her. She's my strong and powerful side. We've conquered Black Diamond ski trails together. LOL

Wow, she ski's?

Awesome!
Steem on!
^ upvoted!

Steem on @anns !

:))
Smiles!!

Incredible!!! Love it:)...And for her name, I would go with "Justice Sky"-

Cool name!

Thank you!

Do you have an alter ego? Is that a rhetorical question or are you serious? Do you have a twin personality living rent free in your head? That's what an alter ego is, by defnition. Two personalities in the same brain.

Is it real or is it memorex?
Only your hairdresser knows for sure.

I'm sure she does!

Absolutely Stunning!
"I loved Ophelia. Forty thousand brothers
Could not with all their quantity of love
Make up my sum."

My super hero alter egos are Morgan and Sky .

I love waking up to some Shakespeare!
Any story behind those names?

Ophelia Widow.... Oh shit

Be careful how you tread @crytpofunk ;D !

Great use of colours!!
Inspired by deep thoughts.
Feels like it will get appear now in front of us.

Awesome, glad you like it!
