Herla, medicine doe.

Wanted to do a picture of her searching out medicinal plants. She's been looking for this one for a while.

Edit: Settled on a music piece for this:

I didn't know orchid's had medical purpose actually.. All I learned today is that they save the world with epic music on the background. Oh who am I kidding.

"The use for dried orchids

"The use for dried orchids ranges from immune system build-up, to cancer treatment, eye-sight improvement, regaining strength after healing (for healers) and quick recovery after sex."

I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW TODAY! 8D

Very lovely mi dear, I really love the idea behind this not to mention the work itself of course :3 Depicting 'scenes' is something I fail at ha

Misako: Yup, totally epic, kick you in the face, save the world ORCHIDS. And Herla found it. LOL! Thanks for hanging out with us while we arted. ^^

Wocio: Thank you!

SnowSauria: Thanks bunches. ^^

Shiori: Thank you! I love illustrative art that tells a bit of a story. Always striving for it in my work. So glad it came off okay. And lol at that list. So many comments to be made! Hah!
Other uses depending on the orchid: antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, treatment of hypertension. The roots of one orchid species are known as "nerve root" because the root stocks are good for headache, insomnia, hysteria, and certain forms of delirium.

I cheated here and designed my own orchid with a combination of different species…as well as their medicinal purposes. There I go over thinking things again!

Quadraptor: The eyes took a bit of fussing so glad they look good. Bent the laws of proper lighting in the name of art! Thank you.

Nuevapaz: Thanks so much. Crayons. Have to eat lots of crayons!

Iaurdagnire: Thank you! It was a challenging angle/perspective that was new for me to try. Thanks for stopping by to say hi.

Dang, wish I'd known that a lot earlier. I used to have a lot of crayons when I was little, but I only used them to color. Well I guess I'll just have to get some new ones.
