Description So this was something I've been working on for awhile. When decided to have a Thanksgiving contest with the theme of drawing a Native American character, it gave me some incentive to finish it.
Brother Bear is a very fun and creative movie. It's not one of my favorites, but I really enjoy it. What I like most about it is the art design, especially the character designs. Tanana in particular always stuck out to me. Such a cute design.
The idea for this came about months ago when the club watched BB on livestream. Somebody (possibly or ) said that Tanana was probably quite the looker in her youth. I thought it was a cute idea and wanted to draw it. After all, you see fan art of older versions of young characters all the time, but how often do you see young versions of older characters?
I put her older self in as well to give an visual of how she's aged over the years. Got to say, I'm happy with the shading on the characters here.
I think I actually made her look too young. I was aiming for early 20s, but I think I made her look 15. I don't know, maybe its just me.
The background is pretty sloppy. Sorry about that. I was in a hurry because I have a lot on my plate IRL right now and don't have time to make it look really good. That and I just suck a backgrounds in general.

Don't forget to comment!

Her tokem was beauty so it makes sense that she looked great when she was younger and still does. You've done a fantastic job showing her as a young woman, it's a lovely picture.

Yeah, I can't remember which one of us it was! Haha, we're both known to say silly things like that at the stream.
You did such a nice job with this! I think your interpretation of her as a young lady really fits with her personality. ^0^

I think we've all said some pretty silly stuff during the stream.
So glad you think I've captured her personality. I was really worried she wouldn't look like herself.

I really admire how you transformed her and still have her look reconisable! Really creative and  cool And it shows real skills when you're able to do that. I really like your design!

Aww, how nice that you were inspired by those passing comments!
You've done something so nice for her, it's great! Really lovely details too, it's great that you've even done a background for this as well. Her expression is so great! Wonderful capturing her personality.

I guess we never know when and were inspiration will strike.
Thank you! So glad to hear you like it! I did my best to get her facial features and personality down.
