i had a struggle with this image because although i was drawing my inspiration from native american culture, i did not wish to create a stereotypical image.
i redrew my friend in a different pose, but decided that it didn't fit in the composition which was drawn for the original pose. The image is one i captured on my camera of my model friend Samantha Sanborn wearing my dress from last year.
in the end I took out the headband and turned the arrow into a heart to soften the effect.
Hope its well received!
