It's A Jungle Out There

Description

Really folks, it is. I'm feeling a bit under the weather (fingers cross that I am not getting sick again) but I decided to keep my hands busy, if not my head and color my friend johnjonnyjonathan's amazing line art of Shanna. Seriously, go check out his artwork, he's really talented and definitely has a knack for getting proportions right and true. It was a lot more work that I thought it would turn out to be but I think it turned out pretty well. I've never really painted a true jungle background scene before, but I think it was worth it. I wanted to put detail but also some sketchy lines so Shanna would stand out. The water was a lot of fun to paint, I missed painting water. I wanted to give it a comic but organic look hence the digital painting look with the colorist look. But anyways, I actually like Shanna and while she's evaporated to a certain extent from the Marvel universe, she's still a character who's adventures I enjoy reading. On another note, I thought about painting bone knifes/daggers but obsidian seemed a more realistic and viable option to add some darker tones to the piece. I've personally found quite a few of my own obsidian arrowheads and broken blades during my younger year's attempt of archeology, lol. Anyhoo, feedback and comments are always welcome! :heart:
