*OMG* At last I finished doing this. I've been working on this for days. Tweaking, adding, substracting the elements etc. Of course not the whole days though, I have a lot of other things to do.

Also, the internet connection in my home is not good either. I can barely be online to check all the messages here. Sorry my friends. I'll get back to you soon.

Inspiration

..The Elemental Goddess..

Portraying the four elements:
Water
Earth
Fire
Wind

The elements are actually contected and interrelated to each other. They complement each other. I tried to portray the four goddesses with their respective elements.

The main stock is from with the cosmos package. I used four colors of different packages in this piece to represent each element.


My basic idea was actually to show that starting from water pouring onto the earth,it can be the source in which we can live, together with other creatures in the world. From the earth material combining with the heat from the sun and other sources, the fire element can exist. From the fire, there will be smoke. The wind element can be from this smoke, and also be existed from other sources in this universe. The wind element helps to maintain the fire, and also to gather the clouds to produce the rain.This is how the cycle of elements that I imagined in the first place.

I was thinking to give this piece the title of "Elemental Cycle". However due to I am not able to actually show the cycle in this piece, I ended up with this title.
