Slip from the Heat

A detailed portrait work may be found here: [link]

A woman of Zerran, who was travelling through a scorching desert in her kingdom, is sweltering in her garbs by the time she finds shelter under the ruins of a nearby temple and begins slipping off what she can no longer tolerate; hoping she’ll go unnoticed and let her perspiring skin breathe some, and maybe catch a wandering breeze to cool down with.

This is one of those works that I didn’t intend to put a lot of effort with, until I was further along and began seeing something hopeful. Originally supposed to only take a day, I decided to add a few more days on top of that and am pretty happy with the end result. And as the description says, she’s a woman of Zerran descent; a kingdom far from the troubles of other realms, and is well noted for having the largest desert lands in the world of Aikurisu.
