Red Heroine

Cropped closeup of my newest piece. It's 50% of the original size.
This is my tribute to Merida from the movie Brave. I haven't seen it yet but I'll soon!
I made it for a contest which was about picking a character from any Pixar movie and placing them in another country. I decided to make her a soldier in the US military. Boy was I wrong picking her. I can't draw curly hair at all. I had a few versions of the hair until I used this one. It drove me NUTS.

Only refrence used for this cropped part is for lighting angles: [link]
