here's a semi-WiP that I wanted to upload
I finally got the chance to set up my comp and scanner at my new place

I just wanted to doodle something with snakes, since I've been stuck on a particular project and I had a totally different visual in mind that needed to be sketched
I stayed up late a few days ago and did the lineart for a snake charming conjurer chick
it's kinda simple overall; the snakes were conjured up using my big Smithsonian book of Animals for reference/ideas
strangely enough, someone offered a snake to me the other day lol I may take him

I've been trying some different things with my random sketchings, although I haven't had much time for art these days, since I just moved and I'm always working
this one's kinda middle eastern/south asian
I was gonna just upload the lineart as is, but I guess I kinda wanted some colour to it at least for now
the purple was added via photoshop colouring tweaking
the scan's kinda dirty too

maybe someone else can colour this?
the cobra was a real pain in the you know what

Istar Vishal belongs to me
