Description
I wanted to see how my cartoon-style Cleopatra would appear in color. This time, I chose to give her a "redbone" complexion, like that of the actress Gabrielle Union. Given her Macedonian ancestry (at least on her father's side), Cleopatra VII most probably wouldn't have been a super-dark girl, but I still prefer a browner look for her. Or maybe she's collected a slight tan from the bright Alexandrian sun.
