Reborn

This image is more of a sketch of an idea, but I worked it up properly nonetheless. All elements here are intentional (white BG, expression, hair color and design, etc.). I am severely disappointed in the ear - why didn't I just use a friggin' reference. D'oh! Anyhow - it's not all that bad. I am excited to get cracking on some more traditional paintings. Hopefully they're ears are better executed than this one...
