Shahra, Daughter of Sinbad EAH Design Gift

Another Ever After High character design gift! This time, my friend asked me if I could design the daughter of Sinbad the Sailor for her. I quite like how she came out (so if my friend doesn't like her at all, then I'm totally keeping her! XD ) I've always loved Sinbad related things, so this was so much fun to do. 

For her design, I was told that she should have dark hair and maybe a bandanna or headband and I just went from there! I looked at a lot of pictures of the type of things that ladies wore back in ancient Baghdad since that's where the Sinbad stories sort of centered around. They wore a lot of really rich, bright colours and their clothing had a lot of embroidery and beading. They were all really pretty. So I tried to make her clothes something like that, but also look like they're something she could wear swinging from a rope on her ship. I also found that it seems that they wore a lot of dark eye makeup back then, so I added a bit of that too. I went with purple and blue as the main colours because, well, blue like the ocean, and purple like a night sky when all the stars are out which, of course, could be used for navigation. Additionally, I did try to make her look more like a swashbuckling sea-fairing adventurer than a pirate. I hope that came across... 

My friend just told me that she decided to name her Shahra! Shahra the Sailor. I like that! 
I hope you like her!
