Bellydancer

I thought I'd draw something for real, because I haven't in a long long time, and I just got inspired to draw a bellydancer using fire poi...  I don't know, I think belly dancing is beautiful, I think fire poi is beautiful, and I wanted to try and draw lighting in a new way. All of my pictures are always so flat, and I think this one is much more realistic. I'm surprisingly happy with it.

Since I've never done lighting like this before, it took me a good six or seven hours of coloring and fussing and coloring and fussing over the past week or so. But I'm pretty happy with it! (And as a little bonus, her streamer tail was inspired by Journey for PS3!)
