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.

Awesome! Very nice composition!
No offense, but you're basically the first White person I've met that draws people of color on a regular basis.
Your stuff is amazing, as always. I'm still going through my inbox and sorting things out; hopefully I'll see more of your artwork in there!

Thank youuu!
How beautiful! I glad you can see it's braids, as I was afraid people would think she had straight hair!
I do a bit of digital art, but not often! I'm more of an illustrator!

I... had no idea where Sudan was either... *failed geography at school*
Wow, that's one scary fairytale! I love the way you drew their faces, I wish I could draw people from different nationalities the way you do. My people all tend to look the same. X3 I also really like the details and colours in their clothes.

Have any links to the full story? I'd like to sometimes read the stories behind the picture, the inspiration to the art.

I don't know if they have it online! I got it from Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales! You could search for it though!

Na. Wasn't that big a deal, and I am on a timer today anyway.
Maybe later? Or if you do happen to find it, link me later. If you don't or forget, don't worry about it. I just wanted to read more of the story, as I'm sure there is more than what you posted (which was short and to the point. good preview at least).
by the way, I have to at least ask. Did she intent to kill her brother, or just cut off his testicals? Was the idea not a man, no marage or something?

It is very short, being a very fairy tale, but I like to imagine how it would be if I rewrote it, like many people do with fairy tales.
I think she means to kill him really. I don't know becuase it's very vague!
