Description
I never articulated the reason for Flora's environmentalism. To dash her most misleading traits, which I failed to dispel owing to my complacency, Flora's love of nature isn't because she's some sort of "hippie." Flora loves nature because it gives her a sense of place and belonging, and inculcates within her a sense of the mystical and the sublime. She grew up among eighty-foot yellow pines and wild muscadine vines, and listened to campfire stories that directly related to the woods and the glades and the marshes. Put more directly, Flora loves HER environment because she's a part of it.Flora's trading in her shorts for jeans and her tee for flannel; she unabashedly loves country - Travis Tritt's her favorite; she works in the Garden and Outdoor center of her local hardware store and graduated high-school a year back. Flora's in no rush to get a career, though. The woods are her identity, and she celebrates them in both forage and in art.
A lot of Flora's character is getting changed up considerably. If it helps, consider this a transition of age. She'll be 20 in any further pictures. That being said, some changes are being made to the ages of my other characters, although their personalities will NOT change in the same manner as Flora's will. Harriet and Estelle are both situated between 18 and 19, finishing high school, while Persimmon will join Flora at 20. I hope this reintroduction is not too jarring. This is the Flora I've always wanted, and as plain as the picture may seem, this is the art I've wanted from myself.

Not only is this drawing beautiful, but I enjoyed learning more about Flora. I'm really glad you're going into more depth about your characters. If you need to make some changes, then that's fine, they're your characters.

Interesting way to put her, I picture her like a hippie, glad you clarify that XD. So you are going to re-make all your characters with new clothing?, and the reddish color of her fur is now her color? (cuz I love the brown one :3)
P.S: I love how happy she is with her plants :3!

1. No, I won't be changing all of my characters to this degree. I don't think there's really anything that I need to clarify about Harriet, Persimmon, etc.
2. The reddish color is actually something of a mistake; I don't have a colored-pencil that can approximate the same golden-rod shade that the markers I use make X P.
3. Thank you X ).

Nice work man. You really dived into her character here and I' sure it will pay off as you have her interact with your other characters.

Love the expression she has here, along with some of the subtle facial changes it really serves to give a more tranquil and calm vibe. The shading technique really serves to accent that calm feeling as well, particularly in the contrast of the background as well as Flora. While I'm hoping we haven't seen the last of her more passionate and... occasionally reckless side, this looks to be a very good and sensible progression for her. Looking forward to seeing where it goes
Very glad to see you uploading again. Hopefully it's the first of many

your art is still good, despite you're changing a few things. But I have to ask. Is this the end to the bondage art?

hope not, besides. wouldn't that basicly ruin Harriets character? Her hobby is bondage.

Well, now. She undeniably looks much older! That's a cool drawing, though I must ask what will you do with any secondary characters you've created under the Zill identity?

I'm going to do my best not to let any of them fall away. If they have to be changed up some, then so be it. But I made them, so it's my responsibility to ensure that they're used to their full potential.

That sounds like a great idea to me.
