Spoiler: show

So yeah. Had the night to myself. This is what happened.
I don't think it will surprise anyone that 'Mother Nature' as a prompt appealed to me. ; D

Anywho.
This is my mother nature. They are intentionally very androgynous, no reproductive bits. The chest is intentionally undefined as well because of this. Iiiii like it.
Ooh, it is also only thirteen colors, including transparency! I really enjoy trying to work on things with limited palettes lately.
Palettes are mine. I drew most of the face, too! Hee hee!

The base, however, is 'Oil' by the awesometastic lady Blu. I have been dying to use it since I first laid eyes on and I'd love to use it again and again and again.
base!
( would have totally linked to blu's freewebs but it seems to be down right now? )

Heh. Sorry. Got a little ranty.

Not entirely happy with her.. I wanted to add water but I didn't know where I should put it, so I just went with this..

finally done >_<
Explanation for my approach:
So when I googled inspiration for mother nature I noticed that it was all forest-y, which was cool but at the same time I wanted to try something unconventional because I wanted to challenge myself. I decided to go with an undersea approach because the earth is 70% water, so I figured it made sense!

It's not exactly the picture I had in my head but I'm pretty satisfied with it. Mama nature is a pretty little mess with hands that grow pretty things (and probably some ugly things like sticker bushes, but I imagine she loves them all the same, her little prickly babies).

No base, all me this time.
