C - D - Indian Final

Description

This is a beginning piece of a wonderful commission, being done by one friend & given by another good friend.

Using this piece as a continuing (final?) point on "How I Draw Up My Commissions/art", this is where I render the main focal point - the maiden herself. With her, especially of the Seminole background, I had to research a lot about the culture, delving into their type of clothing, coloring, face paint, and accessories - figuring out the meanings behind each of the items. It all has to be done to complete the piece properly.

Once completed, I go thru touching up various different points.

Note: with this piece, the background was intentionally left in different shades of cool gray & warm gray, thus making the maiden stand out even more (more of a design idea, than anything).

The final stage is giving the art to the commissionee (as well as the other friend, too).

As another interesting note, I got complimented on the piece I did, especially for the research I did into the piece. My friend (who had received the commission as a gift) had shown it to her mother & grandmother, and they said they piece was done right, showing the proper way of portraying such a maiden - the research had paid off!
