@BulbasaurusRex designed an alien tree priestess for a space opera story he wrote, and I found myself really taken with her design. What was originally a sendup sketch of his concept art for her turned into a fully dedicated pinup!

Her outfit was based primarily on the kind worn by belly dancers, but I think the bejeweled clasp and belt, and variety of fabrics, help make her feel very spiritual. Her ornately decorated staff also helps. The environment gave me a chance to comfortably experiment, with recognizable landscapes with slightly 'alien' coloring. Just familiar enough, but still clearly not of this earth.

I always enjoy being inspired by the sheer creativity of my friends, and making tributes to them and their works. I hope that you like it as much as I liked making it!
