Once again, here is Leth. (Getting sick of her yet?) It’s good ol’ Leth, God of Greed, post-death, once again.
In Nalaya, there are two energies that are in and around everything: Ki and Ru. Ki energy is “good” energy, being associated with light, warmth, giving, and motion, while Ru energy is generally “bad” energy, and the exact opposite of Ki. Every living creature, every rock, every drop of water has some of both energies in it, and there is a constant flow of energy from the Sun (the source of Ki) and the Moon (the source of Ru.) It is the understanding and manipulation of these flows of energy that is called magic in Nalaya.
If Ki is a “giving” energy, then Ru is a “taking” energy; it should be no surprise that Leth is attracted to Ru. Over the centuries, she has developed many methods of sucking Ru into herself, and other ways of purging herself of Ki to make room. But, a being cannot exist without both Ki and Ru, so deep down inside she still has some “goodness” to her. She has, however, seriously screwed up her initial balance of the two energies, and has screwed up her mind as well. But she is incredibly strong because of it.
Ok, on to the drawing: Well, it isn’t as dynamic a pose as the other one, and I don’t think I spent as much effort on the upper half this time around. This drawing was mainly a way to develop her bottom half, the skirt/robe/thing. Now I think I made the bottom into something that looks a little better than a half-assed afterthought to the top.
And, in the end, I’m grateful you’ve taken the time to look at my art, and read my “notes” on it. Comments and suggestions are, as always, welcome.

This newsletter was "born" back in March 2007, from a conversation between ~Lareth and =FrozenStarRo, who with the help of their friends *Iardacil and =Sylwiaa , wanted to make something to promote known and unknown photomanipulators alike here on DeviantArt. As of September 2009 =ImaginaryRosse joined the project and will be helping us out with the weekly choices. While things have changed over time, the essence of the newsletter is still the same. As of recent, the talented =Behana has joined us in bringing you this weekly newsletter and we are excited to have her on board. This is a special feature, with a selection of 50 manips from the past year that we loved.
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.
