Aquarius the Water Bearer - For Marisa

When painting something for a friend, you want to make it super personal and it should be something that suits their personality as well.
In the past, I've usually tried to capture shared experiences in a piece, however with this particular one, as it's for my best friend's birthday who likes "dark" things and was born on Valentine's Day, I painted the following nesting doll which is my take on her zodiac symbol...

Rough sketch...




The doll I used actually had a hole in the bottom, so it allowed for me to sew the felt parts...


Possible insides...


Final with inside parts...


;D
