Just a sketch that I quickly colored.

Obax an aye-aye. Obax (OH-bah) is a female Somalian name that means “flower”.

This is my first rendering of her, also used as my final for my color theory class.  Traditional pencils digitally painted using an oil pastel brush in Paint Tool Sai, with post work done in Photoshop CS4.
