Description

This is a submission for :icondrachearannak: 's Dwarf Planet Sailor contest!

About this design:

Well, I partly grew up in Hawaii so when I saw this contest this was the one I felt most inspired to tackle. The Hawaiian goddess the planet was named for "Haumea" was pretty much the earth goddess and creator, she was also a goddess of fertility. In my research I only found two artistic depictions of her both having a blue green color to her hair and thought it would fit nicely in my design. For her colors I chose red yellow and green. Red and yellow because they are the Hawaiian royal colors and green because of her basis in nature. I chose her to have a sarong type hip skirt instead of a standard pleated skit because it give it more of a Hawaiian feel. (I own many from my yeast there! hehe) I didn't give her a chest bow because I thought it would clutter up the design, I wanted to keep if very simple. Around her neck and the ends of her gloves are Kukui nuts (also known as candle nuts) which were used in ancient Hawaii as a form of light when burned, they are also used in decorative leis. I also gave her a red hibiscus because I believe the design needed more red and the state flower is the yellow hibiscus but I'm more familiar with the red and pink verities that were around my house in Hawaii. :)

Overall I really like how this design came out and it was really fun and an excuse for me to try out painter 11 having never used any of the painter programs before.
