Description What's this?! A new deviation?! Could it be?! Why yes! It is! I've finally uploaded something new! (And not surprisingly, its late, per the norm.)

When Brave came out, the urge to draw Merida was absolutely killer! Unfortunately, I find myself at a lack of being able to draw 3D animated characters...in their 3D state. So, as you can see, I resorted to drawing her 2D form. Degrading to a certain level, yes. But despite whatever version I drew her in, I knew I wanted to use her as the guinea pig for my new Prisma Colour set. And if I may say so, I really do love how the colouring turned out. A little rough around the edges, but I AM just starting out with them after all. I'm also trying to omit the tedious white backgrounds from drawings of individual characters from here on in. Though it is likely, the png like background will be exclusive to Merida only. We'll see what happens.

Princess Merida has certainly made an impression! She has spunk, she's got skill and needless to say, she is an awesome edition to Pixar's roster of unforgettable characters. I can really admire Merida for her independence and for her outgoing sense of difference. To me, she's basically my dearest and beloved with red hair. (The similarities between the two are freaky. Trust me.)

I'm sure by now its not news that Merida will be joining the Disney Princess lineup as of July next year. But be prepared to see her in 2D more often!

I hope you enjoy this pic. I'm just sorry it took me half a year to get it up!

She looks great! The color-blending on her dress was really well done!

Well thank you! The prismacolor pencils seem to blend a heck of a lot better than my usual ones. Or maybe I'm delusional I dunno.

She looks fantastic! I love Merida so much, she's so awesome! I was also really excited for there to be a movie set in Scotland because I'm Scot-Irish on my mom's side! And don't worry, your deviations are always worth the wait!
