Description
so maybe you know or maybe you don't, but I'm in love with the Pre-Raphaelite art movement. So when i saw this painting by John William Godward, 40.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyf… I had the urge to draw my ...er, "version" of the painting featuring my child Erin.I WAS going to post this on Tumblr also, but Tumblr has the absolute worst image aspect ratio of all time. OF ALL TIME. so fuck that shit.
It's been two whole years since I've posted a drawing of her, I'm so ashamed.
Edit: [4/4/16/] Fixed her fucking mouth because it was driving me crazy.

I decided lavender would be a more accurate representation of her albinism. I also just think it looks better on her anyway lol. P:

I think one picture in your sketch dump hinted to her (but maybe not), but if Erin is albino then does she not ever go outside? Sensitivity to the sun is one major problem with albinos, but she seems like a special case.
Poor Celi has gone through so many design changes that it's not funny, but I think I am going to settle for making her an albino. It is a nod to this one thing that claimed that Araceli had been an albino before receiving her magic and falcon form. In a ways, it conveniently solves all the issues in regards to the color of her scales and feathers. But I think she has it easy because her magic will prevent her body from suffering the side affects of albinism. Thus you can see Celi walking around in the marketplace.

Yeah, I had the idea of making her eyes lavender instead of red for a while. This drawing just makes it official. P: I like to imagine that she just wraps herself up in tapestries and fabrics to protect herself from skin damage, aside from not going outside all together. I'm not sure how she would cope with having poor eyesight though. That's another symptom of albinism.
That's a pretty good idea. I have heard that about Araceli too. I'm sure there's a lot you can do with having her be albino in terms of symbolism, too.

It's a shame you don't draw her more often. And I really like what you did with the background; it actually looks like real marble!
