SciFi and Fantasy Art The Surreal Feel by Stephanie E. Riley

Let's see, where to begin on this one... well, my mom had gotten me a 'watercolor-colored-pencil' kit and I thought that I should try them out. This was my test project with this new medium and I also used the original watercolors as well. This took around two hours of my free time. The girl is, I guess, another version of me. She's a wanderer kind of person who has arrived in a large, grassy area with a stone pillar in it. She climbed to the top to see what could await her on her travels, and she loves the sight of it. She likes it so much in fact, that she'd rather stay there for awhile, and not ruin the beauty by going near it, for things that look beautiful from a distance, aren't always as pretty up close.

Three notes here: 1:) The sleeves are supposed to be darker than the jacket itself, 2:) The symbol on her face is just a distorted star, and 3:) The colored blotches are supposed to be flower bundels growing in the grass.
