Commission for =Higure-no-Hikari~

Her character Hikari, with a field of poppies in the background. The ancient Greeks considered poppies a symbol of Demeter, the mother of Persephone, and the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum is the source in the modern day of morphine and heroin, amongst other drugs, as well as representing those who die in war.

...I really need to stop over-thinking all this flower symbolism, don't I?

Anyway. ~5 hours, Photoshop CS2, barely photo-referenced.

Your commission is in the works, by the way... assuming I get enough revision out of the way first, it ought to be done before Sunday :3

If being very uncreative, Hikari's flower is a Black rose. The last time I browsed through flower meaning lexikon(s) I thought one could also try with Iris. Poppy is therefore a fresh idea I like a lot. :heart:

I love the detail you put into the flowers. After I've finished with the details of the face the other things tend to be sloppy in my pictures. XD And you put so much work into everything. It's great~ :)
