Awesome work Chris

Wonderful Chris, you certainly know how to give a picture movement. This could so easily have looked a static picture, but instead it vibrates with action.

Artist Reply: Thank you Steph! The wierd part of this particular image, is that I did it as a tattoo pattern for a someone who had walked into a local parlor a couple of years ago and seen a similar picture hanging on the wall there. When he went back, the picture was gone, and the owner could not tell him who had made the original, nor where his favorite picture had gone, so he asked me to draw a Native Indian girl, with a 6' bow(clothes optional), and two feathers...this is what I came up with, and usually, I allow the customers to keep the custom originals that I do,(of tattoo's)... this way they are assured that they get something unique,... but he insisted on giving me the original, which I think I will change, and color eventually. I have a great love for Native American culture and art, but it is rare for me to work with it much, however seeing how much pride that is in the art, it demands a certain degree of accuracy, and feeling which I still need to polish with this pic...but being right off the top of my head, I'm still very proud of it. Stay tuned for a spontaneous update though. ;)

she is wonderfully female! love how u handled her.

Artist Reply: Thank You, although I think I should have done a little more to the Native designs, and the title is a bit generic.
