Yes, that is an accusing look ...

Just made this at the very last minute for a weekly challenge on DA's #deviantdeadlines with the theme "Mother nature." More of a sketch than anything.
Not much time to refine things, alas - basically just painting in MyPaint followed by cropping and some touchup in GIMP.

MyPaint + GIMP, 30 minutes.

30 minutes of expertise in my honest opinion.
Griatch that is excellent, and i love the piercing eyes! :)

Nicely done.

Griatch, are you using a graphics tablet?

Heh, thanks. This is one of those quickies that I won't be returning to fix up. :)

The glowing feather hair wins the day for me on this one Griatch. If you don't win, you were robbed. :)

That's really great for 30 minutes!

And I can testify that is truly and accusing look. I get that same face from my wife like 4 out of the 7 day of the week! So, the expression is authentic!

Kudos! :bigthup

Can I ask why you won't be returning to it? I got the "Mother Hen" vibe with all the feathers. Are the red and blue colors representative of hot/cold or politics, etc?

I like it, Griatch. Maybe you'll borrow from it on a future drawing. :)

Thanks! I didn't win this one, which was not too unexpected. :) Good that the accusing look did came across though.

@Mahvin:
Won't return to it because it's well ... not much to return to. :) As you say one might maybe use it for inspiration later, but that's about it.
