Description
A Native American princess escaping into the forest with her animal friends. She's staring at something (bad?) far in the distance...which is the reason why she wants to Slip Away.~I had fun with textures and patterns on this one.
~I also kept my sketch lines instead of a digital lineart, because I wanted the picture to look misty and soft and stuff.
~The animals I used as a reference are: the Red Wolf, the Western Tanager (bird), and the Sleepy Orange (butterfly). All of them life in Central/Western US, which is why i picked them.
I know her head is too big...but I never really see the problems with anatomy until I'm like halfway done...and then I'm too lazy to fix it.

Patterns from...I can't remember. Oh well.

This is so pretty! I definitely think leaving the original lineart was a good choice... The colors are so soft and pretty, too. ^_____^ Also, the animals were surprisingly good (not that I don't have faith in you, Mari, it's just that I don't see you draw them that often ). Although I do see some problems with anatomy (the nose is off to me) and I think the sunbeams (they should've been more hazy and less defined), this detail you put into this piece overall is absolutely incredible. I love it!

I love this Marimba. The mood portrayed is great and you have a BIRDIE!
Birdie = win.

Very pretty. Love the background and the rays of sunlight coming in. She looks too calm for the thing she's staring at to be evil or corrupt. o_O

Thanks! ^_^
Well, it's far in the distance and she's kinda weary or lost in thought of whatever is happening. She's trying to lead the animals away from it so they don't have to see. Or that's what I wanted it to look like...
But you're right, I think. I should change my description.
