Vailia Warrior Princess

I did this one a long time ( many months ) ago as a random gift for my cousin ( Nickname Vailia )

As long as I can remember she has been a fan of Xena the warrior princess.
Dolphie has had to go through alot in her young life but she has always kept fighting and stayed strong.
I wanted to do a portrait of her and show that strentgh and the confidence she has gotten lately.

I think I repainted the thing 20 or so times and I still can't get it to look the way I want.
I think painting people you love is the most difficult thing.

But even though this doesn't look exactly like her I still sort of like how it turned out.
