Native Stars

This was a commission for a co-worker. Her request was simple and open "draw me an Indian girl." So I did.

There was an old Native American tale I always liked about the first woman who received some jewels from husband when along came a tricky fox who wanted them for himself. After much trickery on both sides the woman ends up hiding the jewels in the sky, thus we have stars. Moral of the story: women are even trickier than a fox?!

The basic model for this was Mizuo Peck (she played Sacajawea in Night at the museum) but I also included some slight facial features from the commissioner herself.
