Description
Diirawic and her sister, Nyanaguek, from the Sudanese fairy tail, 'Diirawic and her Incestuous Brother.'I've always wanted to draw Diirawic! The tale says she was incredibly beautiful and everyone, even the old men, listened to her! I imagine that she was not only beautiful, but she must have incredible charisma too!
Diirawic was so beautiful, her brother Teeng wanted to marry her, and did so behind her back. Diirawic was obviously upset, but her little sister Nyanaguek gave her a knife and told her to cut off her brother testicles when he was asleep, which she did and he died! Then she and the other young women all go off into the wilderness to live. There they encounter a lion, but clever little Nyanaguek tricks him each night. Then they tame the lion and he becomes their brother, and they all go back, Diirawic has 13 children (Aaaaaaargh!) and the 13th is a lion child that keeps sucking all the other childrens blood...O.o So the lion man kills it. Then End!
This looks better in real life, because the glitter is so sparkly! The man standing in the background is he brother Teeng, throw rocks at him! D:<
Fairy Tale from Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales.

Good GOD! Your skills in coloring is magnificent!! I am VERY impressed with this pic, and I like the fairy tale as well. I am currently in the middle of making a Egyptian/Sudanese characher, and I'm glad to see a character from the country of Sudan!

The coloring here is absolutely amazing. The one thing from this picture that really jumped out at me was how you colored their eyes.

I am amazed at the attention to details in this pic as well as the textures of the colored pencils. The touches of gold give the entire pic a fantical feeling and I love the look on the little girl's face. She seems so uncertain but I find it funny for some reason.
Wonderful job on this...
