I feel I should describe what these things are again. They are based on a series of books by Jacqueline Carey, the Kushiel series (Kushiel's Dart, Kushiel's Avatar, Kushiel's Chosen). In the books, one of the main centres of activity is the Night Court, a series of 13 Houses of cortisans. Each House has a different canon and a different motto. So, no, I won't be doing fritillary, or daisy, or whatever else. Only the 13 Houses. Though actually I'm remembering how much I like drawing flowers, so you never know ...
Anyway, this is Heliotrope, the House of devotion and love, whose canon is "thou, and no other". I love heliotrope ("cherry pie"), its my favourite flower and always has been. So, I thought I'd do this as a very simple knot, symbolising unity and intertwining. And I love the result.

another beauty of the ones you've done, this is probably my second favorite - which honestly surprises me, since I've never paid much attention to Heliotrope. wonderful piece, is what I mean to say

thank you I love it too, and I haven't ever really taken notice of Heliotrope before. I can't say I even known they existed until I started this

The balance on this one seems a bit off. The weight is on the bottom where the back would be the most narrow which contradicts the body's form. I really don't think it would look very good actually on the body though it does look good on paper!
I know, I was doing it pretty much deliberately to be a bit of a contradiction. Something very different in form to the others, with the main piece of the design somewhere between the heart and stomach, the "core" of the body. But yeah, I agree, and I know full well that nearly all of these marques would need to be changed considerably to actually work properly as body marques. However, its hard enough to translate JC's ideas into any sort of design LOL and so I decided to stick with artistic impressions

When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
