Dance of Awakening

Description

Final part of an art collaboration between myself and *Doodlee-a.
The theme was 'Dance.'
Original lineart by *Doodlee-a.
Color, shade, and background by me.

Doodlee-a mentioned imagining the character as a fiery sort in an icy area - the only life around, so to speak.
I ran with that idea, but spun it a little bit. Now, she's someone doing a traditional dance at the ending of winter. This dance awakens the nature goddess of her people, it is said, so that spring can come again. She is dressed in warm-colored clothing made of light cloth to symbolize the heat of fire or summer, and the dance is supposed to evoke the warmth of the coming seasons melting snow and ice and freeing their goddess from her yearly slumber.

...
I read too much mythology.
