This one is rife with symbolism. I read a description of the Latvian goddess Mara, http://www.angelfire.com/al2/LatvianStuff/Earth26waterdeities.html, and decided to to try to depict her. Some of the symbols like the skeleton representing death are obvious, some like the odd number of flowers signifying good tidings or benevolance are not unless you're familiar with Latvian culture. I've never seen any of the Latvian deities drawn, but this is how I imagined one would look.

Seems like an excellent depiction, to me. I like how you've gotten all her symbols and things in there. Great picture, Gigge.

! I really like this, Gigge. There is so much to look at. I especially like how she disappears at the bottom and the fire in the background. Great job

Neat picture Gigge. It looks like something that would be in a book on one page and the story telling it out on the other. Like little red riding hood or the three pigs or something. Good job.

This is just really creative and interesting. You did a really good job on the basket and the fireplace, especially.

Wow, thanks for the comments! I didn't think it would get any since it's a bit creepy and the subject is very esoteric.
