... Would we treat her differently?

I left a lot of symbols for those with a patient eye. I've settled on not explaining everything, but I'll give some small hints.

Those who wonder about her collar;
It's a symbol of what is manmade. The pattern of the lace is shifting and not precise. That refers to us - we are not flawless. And yet she accepts it, and to some point she gladly wears our presents.

The mirror;
Take a look into it - Do you see yourself there?

The rest is up to you. I gave it a lot of thought, played with lightdirections, since I figured, that there are a lot of things about Mother Earth that we can't quite figure out.

I (sort of) have a plan of making a twin, that will be a bit opposite. The theme will be pollution. I've also wondered if to make father time as a child. We'll see.

Thanks to all who motivated me to get this done :aww: The scanner (of course) went a little rough on it. It can't divide all the colours completely. Oh well.

Also thanks to;
:iconsmile-d: for allowing me to use a reference [link]

Animal reference was found in a encyclopaedia I have.

Materials;
130g paper, rather smooth
Caran D'ache, Faber Castell, Derwent, and supermarket pencils
Eraser
White paint
Patience (>.<;)

- And just to add;
I'm no saint myself when it comes to our environment. Fx. I love ecology, but not everything in my kitchen is. (I'm a poor student for gods sake xD)

It's really good. I love the vividness of the colours and the amount of detail and effort you've put into this. The ocean scene with the dolphins is a great example of this. A lot of people would have that as a standalone deviation. Great work :D
