Description Yes I'm still on this...Please don't hurt me.

Due to Erin's (GadieCat on Deviantart) amazing suggestion for the next princess, I present Tiger Lily from Peter Pan. It was genius because of her obscurity but the hard part about her execution was her dress. These black dresses were supposed to be "modern" takes on the Princesses. I wanted to do something traditionally Native American with her costume, but I felt that it would be unfair to just make a general-halloween-like-amalgamation of an "Indian" costume. So, being the QUEEN that I am, I broke her traditional costume down into its most recognizable parts: beads, trim, and feathers. Ergo, instant flapper ( I didn't feel bad generalizing the flapper.)

Overall I like her. It's challenging to make each princess fit in with the background. It's interesting to try and make them all seem like their a part of the picture, but also individual and not just pasted on. I've thought of some fun ones for this, so I hope they turn out nicely too.

P.S. This one, again, is dedicated to Erin for the amazing idea!

Kind of reminds me of the Ayaa Tiger Lily in Syfy's Neverland.

This is so pretty. I love how the detail of the dress comes out even though it is drawn so simple and only one color.
