The Great Mother Portrait

Description

Actual Traditional artwork! Hooray! Happy 
Remember all my old characters from way back when called the "skulled warriors"? I completely forgot about them until recently and decided to create a skulled warrior character from a fictional species I created. (I'll upload proper images of my fantasy sentient later) I decided a feline inspired skull would be better, but I couldn't resist spikes. Skulled warriors are back! (you can find my old skulled warrior drawings in my old work folder, but be warned, its a dark and twisted realm) This character is female, I did a character sketch of her earlier in my sketchbook. I don't have a name for her yet, nor do I know what "The Great Mother" means...interpret that as you will. I thought it sounded cool and impressive. 
I'm really hoping to upload more traditional artwork in the future. :) I'm really happy on how this turned out! I did not expect it to turn out as good as it did. XD The blue might be a bit intense, might have gone a bit overboard. But hey, live and learn. The markings are rather arbitrary, partially inspired by inuit walrus tusk carvings. This was so much fun, I really love this character. And I really love colored pencils, I'm falling in love with them! I did this on printmaking paper, strange enough, but it's not bad paper for colored pencils. It's rather good.

Love it💜 but it kinda needs more shading and lighting, not trying to be rude c:! I love it honestly. Maybe add some shine too? ( against the bones and eyes.) And maybe more detail in the wounds? C: Mr.Turtle gives you thumbs up!🐢:👍 ! Make moooooreeee! And maybe more bones? <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=":D (Big Grin)"/> and............... Hmm.
