Lady in the Sand

Muses: First manip of 2017 and I'm already off to a rocky start. This is the second part of elkayell 's commission. Meet Waratah, a lovely girl who did not want to be maniped. I'm so sorry this took so long and I'd really like to thank Nikkayla for the help with this recolor, and CarharttCreations for letting me cry and whine about this one. I really could not have done it without the two of you.

Struggles: All of it. I'll admit that this was the absolute hardest piece I have ever worked on but after much blood, sweat and especially tears, it's done. We always get those artworks that push us to our mental limit, well this one was mine. Overall I'm content with what I've managed to create but I really don't believe I've done this character justice. Maybe one day when I've improved I'll remake this manip, my skill level was just not good enough this time around.
