Description

Ondines or undines are elementals, enumerated as the water elementals in works of alchemy by Paracelsus. They also appear in European folklore as fairy-like creatures; the name may be used interchangeably with those of other water spirits. Undines were said to be able to gain a soul by marrying a human and bearing his child.

whew. We had our version of the 1st act of Ondine, a play by Jean Giradoux at school. And might I say, it was the most exhausting 2 weeks of my life.

Congratulations on being featured. Very nice vector by the way - I love the piece. Maybe if you have a little spare time - you could swing by my page and give me a few pointers. I'm struggling with shading & I'd like to improve. :)

Thanks again - and great work!
