We all have them. Scars that define bravery, scars that define devotion. Marks of spirituality and amulets of protection.
We choose to wear them; even though we rather hide them.

Inspired by Chinese tattoos. Originally it started to be an Elven woman walking in a forest but thinking it was too cliché I had it developed to include more oriental influences. Purely done in Photoshop with a Cintiq21ux and used a stock photo as a reference for the pose and body. I also used stock images as reference for the tattoos, and used stock brushes for the fabric's pattern.
