Description Simple-shaded piece with no background of my character, Xhosa!

When I was hanging out with and her sister, we decided to make some lion characters so we could have a pride. It's just us being silly. So, I created Xhosa. Just what I need... another character. Xhosa is cute, though!

Xhosa is a hippie at heart. She loves wrap skirts and always wears scarves and bandanas in her hair. Right now, she is wearing an African Liberation scarf. She has multitudes of bracelets and necklaces of all sorts of designs. She always wears a chakra bracelet on her right ankle. She also wears a mood ring on her right middle finger. She is also a voodoo practitioner, but of a different variety. She kind of makes it up as she goes along. She is truly an agnostic theist, but likes the ritual of voodoo, so she adopted it. She is a Reiki Master Practitioner and Teacher, as well. She loves alternative therapies and medicines, as well as mind-altering substances of the non-chemical variety.

Xhosa is super friendly and loves ice cream. Xhosa is also a huge environment fanatic and hates those who litter or don't recycle. She's also an activist in most things you can be an activist about. For work, she is a physical therapist assistant and is debating getting her Ph.D. She also loves to draw and paint. Xhosa lives in Madison, IN, of course.

I hoped that this would become a critiqueable piece, this has been a favorite of mine since about an hour after you uploaded it^^ This is so hard to critique because the folds in the clothing, the shading, and the pose are all near perfect. I would make the background a little more grungy because right now it's like a blurred grunge which isn't bad, but I would think it would be better with sharper grunge. I would make the shadow less blurred as well. I love her clothes so much but could the hair be slightly less angular and more natural and flowing down? gosh, you have no idea how hard it was to make this critique on this near perfect piece!

This is really cool. I love the backwards-looking pose, the incense
and the voodoo doll. (That is a sweet voodoo doll, btw) It all just
came together so well along with her clothing. And well let's face it...
White lions are just awesome. Even without a background, this
justrocks. +Fave!
