Girl From India

April Out of the Comfort Zone challenge piece, theme - anthro - suggested by Keydan . However, at the end of the month I found myself mentally exhausted by study/thesis pressure, so I stuck with a familiar animal to me, Blue Peafowl (Pavo cristatus), female for a change.

Indian jewelry is kitschy. The lotus was fun. Not entirely sure about the colouring, came out a bit too "caked" for my taste and way more time consuming than I'd imagine judging the quality of the work. I must indulge more into learning basics if I'm to get anywhere.

In the end I chose to upload the first image to DeviantART.. At first I thought the texture was a good idea, but then realized that it looks cheesy and the image became blurry, too.
