This is my best work so far, I think. It's got atmosphere (no pun intended), substance, and detail!!! Been working on it forever!!! Sketched it back after ~Amakudari did her South Africa pic... so it's been sitting around for a while. Over a year, in fact. It's probably better that I didn't finish it then, because I've learned so much in the interrum! The map I used is by a man named Petrus Plancius and comes from way before copyright, I'm sure (1594). It can be found here, along with plenty of hi-rez scans for the adventurer in you. I like the old maps with the words all over them in old-school handwriting I can only pretend to understand. Why don't we have handwriting classes anymore? That would be sweet. Not to mention, I could probably read more poeple's handwriting... Details Shot in my scraps. So many hours... Most of them just working on the basics: coloring the clothes, skin, hair... The five hours I worked on it today covered the accessories, brush, and all aspects of the background. I almost missed dinner because I was so into finishing this! But it was worth it. (C) Aoringo Nov 2007 Please comment!!! |

LOL at the one sock. It also looks different because you used so many earth tones and pastels, which is different from your usual stuff.
(I can't think of anything to say in response! :gonk: )

I had to start from basically scratch. New research, new arguments --- half a semester's work in about 3.5 days.

The funny part is the first thing that came to mind when I saw this was that South Africa drawing.
