Oshun (Dance of the Summoner III)
Acrylic on board.
5 x 7 (fit to 8×10 matte)
This portrait is part of my fantasy world exploration that I’ve been doing for my patreon, Melanin Mythologies.
I’ve been reimagining classic RPG archetypes (Knight, Mage, Archer, etc), which has lead to envisioning the Summons (or Final Fantasy-esque Espers/Eidolons/Aeons) of this world.
Next in the series we have a portrait inspired by Oshun, the Nigerian Orisha of the rivers, love, and beauty.
Super excited to continue exploring the pantheon of nigerian-diasporic mythologies and how they can be transformed and alchemized into my own personal grimoire~!
