Deerskin
Created in Adobe Photoshop CS2
Inspired by Robin McKinley's Deerskin, a retelling of Donkeyskin. In this piece, I try to capture McKinley's depiction of Lissar as haunted by her dead mother's portrait, and the growing knowledge of her father's intentions. Lissar's outwardly composed self confronts her internal fear of what is to become of her, after her father makes known his intentions to wed his daughter.
