Description

I rarely do serious art, but I do have to make some effort for my future portfolio at times...so here this is.

This picture was done with Crayola colored pencils on a decently large piece of paper that I'm a bit too lazy to measure right now. It look longer than anything else I've ever drawn. Half the time I look at it and like it a lot, the other half I shake my head and wonder why I couldn't have planned it out better or kept it in a better condition without a bunch of wrinkles. I guess it's generally fine, though, haha.

Anyways, the idea was that I thought the peacock turning into stars would look pretty. The peacock is probably my favorite bird because I adore its iridescence and the eye-like feathers on its tail, so I tried to portray its glorious colors on paper and it worked pretty well in general.

Last time I uploaded a WIP of this I was told a story about Melek Taus from a helpful commenter. After finishing this I looked into it some more (Wikipedia counts, right?) and found that the peacock god Melek Taus is, according to some legends, one of the demiurges who helped God create the universe. That seemed pretty relevant to my peacock spinning a galaxy, so I titled this "Creation." (I encourage you to look up Melek Taus on wikipedia. I'm not great at retelling legends.)
