Hi all!

Today, I present to you a new digital art work which is my entry for splinterlands art contest week 197 organized by splinterlands@splinterlands. It's really been a while I participated in this contest and it feels good to be back. The character I worked on is known as "Mother Khala".

This aged mama is believed to be about 80 years and the oldest practicing mummomer of khymeria.

This is always her outfit as she prefers wearing heavy knit clothing of bright colors.
The traditionally carved staff she's holding appears to be her source of magical power. You can read more about her here.

In this piece, I changed her posture as well as the color of her top cloth. She still retains her two teeth and appears to be in a state of meditation.
