***(This artwork was first originally published to DeviantArt on 1/28/2008.)*** ___ This is a rich and elegant close-up look at my newest original mature-based design of 2008 entitled “_Quicksand Spirits of the Salt_”, the very first design of my short original artwork series of _Elemental Spirit Lovers_. Here, mature adult audiences can see all of the key, important details that went into this full piece, magnified 2x and cropped to show you what really went on in the making of these oddly significant little bits and pieces indeed. The artwork part of the magnificent spirit lovers Aseldrik and Oasia slowly becoming Quicksand Spirits together took a RECORD 68 layers to complete, not counting the fact that I did a merged hard copy of that new art to fit it into a large-scaled, tarot-like card form you see [right here](https://inkblot.art/post/IK1UJRFwKqlaO3fgGYTG). Whew, that was quite a helluva lot of work and well-determined effort indeed!!! And oh... GLAD I got it all done with the details being shown to those of you 18 or over right here!! ^-^ !! ___ **© 2 0 0 8 A d i g u n A z i k i w e P o l a c k .
