A description of Dakkru can be found in her library; I am not sure if I am allowed to post a quote here.

From "The Four Revelations of Dakkru" by Londris Kolaim:

The pressure in the room intensified until I thought my bones must splinter and collapse under the weight. From the vortex stepped the most frighteningly beautiful being these old eyes have ever seen. Even blinded by pain as I was, Her image cut through. A form lithe and strong, with a shimmering cloak of long, sharp-edged splinters of ruby, emerald, diamond, platinum, and silver, all strung together with impossibly fine strands of orichalc and rattling in a soft cacaphonic hymn. A glorious headdress of crystal shards crowned such perfection as all the world of the living could hope for in death. Her lustrous skin was the whitish blue of the drowned, but in no way besmirched. Her eyes- irises like green halos encircled unfathomable pupils.

Not perfectly used in all details, but quite close:



I was amazed by the combination of care and concern in the face of this fashion model presenting a black wedding dress...

[Eonwind]

Very good may I only suggest a darker shade on half of her face (thus looking more intimidating)?
a crown of shard would be a nice addition too.
I'm sorry not to provide any sketch but I've no artistic skills

[Candy]

Just a little WIP I'm doing...I think I might just paint her. Eyes are a bit wonky, I know.

[Mariana Xiechai]

Dakkru is one gaudy goddess.
Finished Version!


And a close up of her face since it's so blurry:

Those are beautiful renders, Candy and Mariana. I do hope you finish them. Miomai is jealous of your talents.

[Jilata]

hm... I gave it myself a try... Somehow Dakkru turned out to be a Diaboli *looks at Gartheiz* I don't really know why... 

[Bonifarzia]

It seems Dakkru is an interesting motive for many of us.
When I read the description LigH quoted above,
I could not resist to spend my ten minutes on a simple concept scribble.
Below is section of a scan - to keep it small here.
Let's hope there will be some more contributions for other deities as well.

[Mariana Xiechai]

For Boni's: Might I advise clicking on it to get the full effect. It's pretty neat. 

[BoevenF]

Boni! By the gods! It's marvellous!

[LigH]

It's time to vote! The results will be visible after the poll finished, in February.

[Candy]

Oh, so I'm late in finishing it. Whoops. Progress on the painting I was doing:

[Rigwyn]

Candeh...  FTW!

[Aramara Meibi]

I voted for Mariana's rendition and here's why, the aged and faded beauty, the sly smirk and sideways glance that can only be read as saying, 'You fool, pathetic mortal. You aren't worthy of my love."

I think she captured my idea of Dakkru perfectly.

[Candy]

I actually voted for Boni's rather than my own...I like her headdress better, and much like Ara I picked it for the personality of the piece.
