Description "If we die, we die defending our rights" — Chief Sitting Bull

I finally finished coloring it!!! It took awhile cuz I was havin' a hard time findin' a good quote for the scroll work paper.
I used watercolors, colored pencils, sharpies, prismacolor markers, inkpen and an ebony pencil.

I suppose I should explain a bit about my Disney-fied collage....okay here we go....

The Storybook: I guess it started back when I was small, my parents would always read me a bedtime story...we had this old collection of fables, moral stories and adventures books of sorts and even some of those silly poems (Hickory Dickory Dock, the house that jack built, little old lady that lived in a shoe...etc.) which got me hooked to reading as I got older and I still love adventure and mystery books

Pocahontas (necklace, compass and leaves): I learned about my native heritage at the same time when this movie came out in theaters when i was a kid. I remember my sister and I fighting over who was Pocahontas and who was Nakoma when watchin' it over and over again.

Mulan (comb, sash, shan yu's sword): because she was an ordinary girl wanting to protect her family and ended up saving her country and she's very clever and brave.

Treasure Planet (Jim's boots, Morph, laser pistol): okay do i really need to explain this one??? Two words: Jim Hawkins....plus I always wished I had Morph for a pet. I know Jim's boots only have one buckle, but from past experiences of stealing my brothers boots before and knowing how they were too big and easily slip off when playing in the snow that I had to tie the long shoe laces around the top...that's why I put the extra buckle on them.

Pirates of the Caribbean (Jack Sparrow Garb, Jack's tattoo, Tia Dalma's locket, pirate dice, pirate lettering): Jack Sparrow is my favorite fictitious pirate! Tho my fascination with pirates began wayyy before Treasure Planet and Jack Sparrow, it began with the bedtime stories that were read to me as a kid and with Muppet Treasure Island I also love the locket's lullaby

The fiery winged heart lock comes with the key that I made up, but the key I actually have but is not the old gold color, its a tarnished iron key that I found years ago.

---------EDIT------------------------------

okay....i've might wanna clear something with ya'll due to some of you that asked who the girl is and is she an OC? in a way, she kinda is an OC but also she's ME. i drew myself as a disney-ish cartoon.
imma savage thieving swashbuckling pirate who happend to steal bits and odd ends from other disney movies, but mostly more from POTC *insert evil laugh here*
anywayz....i hoped that explains everything....now if u dont mind...imma gonna go steal the Black Pearl from under Jack Sparrow's nose..... Tah...*dashes off*
