This was done a while ago, so I thought, might as well share it now. Interesting to note, I did this while following the Ross Draw's stylized portrait tutorial #africa #afro #gold #egypt #adobe #photoshop #digitalart #color #colordodge#rossdraws #ross #digitalart #anime #cartoon #portrait #stylized #real #realistic #wacom #DeviantArt #juchen #JuCo #art #painting #drawing

My first draft of a story or manga I'm planning on making. I was thinking of creating an anime based off african themes, and characters, and this is basically my first draft on that. Her nickname is Miss. Africa. The Lion's name is Samson. I haven't decided what her actual name would be yet, either Delilah, or some famous African leader, like Yaa Asantewa. She was born in a  small tribe in the south Africa, with the mark of the lion, indicating she was meant to live life as a leader, an explorer. As a child, she came face to face with a lion, called Samson, who is her spirit guardian. At the age of 18, she sheds of her shackles, leaving her village, going on to explore the larger world. She has above human strength, she's not intelligent, in the intellectual sense, but she's well aware of her surroundings, and follows specific values that guide her towards difficult situations, though this leads to her oversimplifying sometimes difficult situations. She absolutely loves children, I believe this is because and she's conflict adverse and naturally kind, and this is because she values human life, but when that human life crosses the line, she has no hesitation ending it, this contributes to her love of children, because she believes they are the most innocent of all human life. Sadly I just started designing this character and did not put as much time in the weapon as I would've wanted it. But she's an extremely skilled spear fighter. In fact, to say skilled is an understatement. I'm just getting into animation, so hopefully I'll be able to create a video that showcases this The paths of the spear covered in kente clothe are where her hands go when fighting. In this picture she's talking to her buddy Samson, as those cross through the swampy terrain.
