_Z o r y a_ - Sunset Goddess

Entry for 's contest: Goddesses.



--

Zorya is the Slavic Sunset Goddess.

In Slavic mythology, the Zorya (alternately: Zarya, Zvezda, Zwezda) are the three (sometimes two) guardian goddesses, known as the Auroras. They guard and watch over the doomsday hound that threatens to eat the constellation Ursa Minor, the 'little bear.' If the chain breaks loose and the constellation is devoured, the universe is said to end. The Auroras represent the Morning Star, Evening Star, and Midnight Star, respectively, although the Midnight Star is sometimes omitted.

The Evening Star is Zorya Vechernyaya. She closes the gates of heaven each night as the sun returns home.

Hair redone in photoshop. A couple of brushes, and some airbrushing from my part. I'm satisfied with the overall result, the transfer from afternoon to night. Hope you like.
