Done on Photoshop Elements using lasso tool, paintbucket, gradient tool, and a total of 4 layers. I was listening to various songs from the Broadway version of "Lion King" (by Disney) while doing this- especially "One by One". :3
Nadhari's story: I was born at a time of need. My father, who I never met, was killed in battle two days before I was born. I was the only heir to the throne. My tribe expected a lot from me as I grew up- I was their leader-to-be, after all. A good friend of my father's, Khalil, lead the tribe while I was still being educated. Not only do I serve as princess now, but also as priestess. With a male ruler dead and a female as his successor, I was also the leader of religious ceremonies. The several jobs that I hold: princess, warrior, priestess, and in a few days Queen, I must still meet this destiny... I turned 16. The seer Emojung read my rosettes and predicted that I shall travel far over the big waters to an unknown land. She told me that I am destined to conquer this land and that Mamba shall become a supreme nation. Our fur shall grow long and our breath shall be seen. This destiny must be met... the vision says so, and I shall be victorious!
Yesh, the details did take lotsa time.
(And also, a secret- I accidentally did jaguar rosettes instead of cheetah spots...
Oops.
But she leads her tribe into territorial battles with other animal tribes (not just cheetahs- lions, rhinos, etc!) as well.
