K so I may be taking this xena thing too far XD..do I care? course not.



I got bored...very bored..so pulled up a ton of xena pics and doodled this idly.



ideas on bg, compositon, mood, colors...how to improve it are welcome. The idea I have is, should it be painted, the horse and foreground warriors will be kinda blurred and same with the bg, so the focus would be on Balaa. Also the armour will be refined..I wanna go with something between xena and the armour seen in lotr(especially the elven armour). OH and I shortened Balaa's muzzle...seemed to give her a more feminine look.

Thats all for now, thanks for looking and commenting folks, I am always welcome to ideas :).

lol! What an awesome picture! XD I never really invisioned Balaa as a "warrior" before...but she seems perfect for the role in this picture. :) I also liked the fact that you didn't just leave her all alone and added lots of other lion-like characters too.

I think a black steed would like nice. Or, maybe one of those grey ones with a spotted coat....hmm. Oops! Excuse my rambling, my cold medication is just kicking in! Fweeeee!! *bounds away*

rambling, my dear...is welcome...and even..encouraged in my journal ;). I always love to hear what ideas people get when they see such rough sketch because it does leave room for the imagination to wander and frankly many of the ideas people give me I absolutely love! I was atually thinking a grey horsie XD...because the more I thought of it, though OH how I love black horsies, it might be too much concentration of dark colors on the right side of the piece which will throw off the balance of the composition.

Ok now..Balaa warrior princess commandeth you to get better. She will bout the cold germs with big sharp pointy things O_O and her chakram.

Palomino or dun/buckskin would be awesome too. C: (and I do think you should complete the head. It might be sorta distracting cut in half, plus I love teh horsiness)
