Ratu Laut Selatan Menari (actual size Collage)

Another of my latest depiction and "digital drawing practice" of Kanjeng Ratu Kidul (Queen of the South Sea - Indonesia - Indian Ocean)

About the Lady in the drawings :
In one of the diverse historical(actual) version, This woman goes by the popular name “Kanjeng Ratu Kidul” or “Kanjeng Ratu Ayu Kencana Sari”. Her existence has been around even before 16th Century CE (the oldest recorded appearance of her in history as a spirit who rules the South Java Sea). Every jewel and wardrobe she wears has a Javanese & Balinese traditional symbolic meaning.

If you would like to have further reading about the Queen, feel free to visit her wikipedia page:

Note : This is not "Nyi Roro Kidul", Ratu Kidul(Selatan) is a different person.
