Yup its still Medreas. But PURPLE. I know the skull design is quite common on characters, but Meddy's a witchdoctor (And the tophat and skull face are in worship of Baron de Samedi), and most things about her stem from different forms of Voodoo.
The rings on her neck are from North Africa, as is the reason she's bare breasted, as many vodun mambos are. Her porcupine quill mane is from South African Sangoma doctors who wear them as a crown. I felt the red and white skin she usually had was looking really gaudy, and purple being a spiritual color seemed to work.
I forgot her horns, to be honest. But it seems to work better without them, how do you wear a hat with such big horns?
The bendy thing in her hand is called a sjambok. A semi flexible stick that can be an effective weapon, made from buffalo skin, commonly.
The thing on her right breast is scarrification inflicted by Hedribaen. Because Med's skin heals quickly, when it does, the skin will realign itself into a scar resembling a russian cross.
She's also got more lip/chin rings. And she got her trenchcoat back!
So yes. Please LOTS of comments, I worked four hours on this. I'll be redrawing those pictures for the competition because her whole facial structure is new too.
And please... please don't call her Barney o_o I know she's purple but really.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
