Blah.. I was really hoping this would turn out better than it did. My yellow for the sky ran n' guttered beneath my painter's tape n' gave a yellow blotch/line on the left side. :/ -- The colors are not as bright as they are up in real life..but that's to be expected. Never the less..

This is an image of "How The Zebra Got Her Stripes"

I had the idea of a flamingo (since while they're pink, they've black under feathers)... They must paint zebras...after all, stripes aren't born on ya (tease)

Jus' a little Zebra gal (an old char of mine reamped) getting her stripes put on her. The flamingo has a gourd full of black paint/ink and wears an amber stone necklace. On the Zebra's arm rests a band with a flamingo feather signifying the ritual.

BTW: This is for sale.
If people express enough interest, she'll be put on Furbid after FC

Wonderfuly done! I love the whole scene, and the premise is amusing and interesting. :)

ShinigamiGirl Says:

I think it looks great, watercolors are quite hard to work with! I also like the way you draw hooves. :>
An interesting thing though, is that some scientists believe that zebras are actually striped white on black, and not the other way around.
