Samodiva Girl Concept

For this concept I wanted to try how a Samodiva girl might have looked like.
Since those are nature/godlike women/girl creatures, who take care of a single animal or a plant, I decided to find an animal she can be taking care of.
The mounts of the Samodiva folk are six winged red deers, I explored a winged deer, but then decided the focus was moving away from the girl itself and onto the animal. So I went for a red deer instead.

In terms of pose, I based it on a really great photo by Katerina Plotnikova, a Russian photographer, she takes pictures of models and real animals. The photo itself was perfect, the moose kind of hugging her in it's own way, showing that it cares for her. So - I decided to not change much, plug in my red deer, plug in my version of the Samodiva girl and play with painting.
