Description

Can you tell that it's spring break so I have tons of time to draw? :)

More character redesigns! Haha, I remember her original design was just kinda… um sexy archer... influenced? I read too many comic books geared towards men.

I’ve actually been playing around with her new design for awhile, it’s kinda Mongolian, Nanai and Dolgan influenced. There's tons of doodles of her in my notebooks. I loved drawing her when I was little and I love drawing her now. I need to work on her personality though, it's kinda, bleh.

Her region is the Sapien region. They don't get any really cool perks other than resourcefulness and good hunting skills. And giant reindeer and bears. So many oversized reindeers and bears. The Sapiens are from the far north, while the Teles are from the deep south, and everybody else is kinda in between.

I really like this concept, you did a great job of capturing that sort of simplicity of design butted right up against beautiful and rich patterns and embellishments that are very characteristic of your inspirational sources.

I have to take issue with one thing though: why the inward pointed feet? I see it a lot in tons of anime-style illustrations and it always comes across as a reflection of some sort of less-than-capable, "oh, I'm just a girl" pseudo ineptitude, and the rest of this illustration says that this lady is anything but that. It just seems to play into the nonsensical viewpoint that only guys are strong and physically capable and girls are just supposed to be pretty and giggle a lot.
