Orroro

This piece is one of my older watercolors, named after one of my favorite Marvel characters. This piece is not intended to be her, but it is titled for what her name means. Orroro is an african word meaning beauty. I mixed cultures and traditional garb of varied African tribes to create this amalgam portrait. Enjoy.

The reason why, I like your work, because it shows alot of movement and flow.

Artist Reply: Chris, Thanks so much!! You know I started off trying to use oils and failed miserably!! I had all this energy in my sketches and I could never translate it to a final painting. It wasn't until I started using watercolors that allowed the sketch to show through that the energy started to appear in my finished works!! Glad to know it's working!! Thanks so much!!

I like the fact that you mixed aspects from different tribes, but they come together so well, here. Absolutely beautiful.

The mix of what they call beauty came out well. The expression in her eyes is very sensual giving her more of a feel of beauty. I like the colors you chose for the jewelry... still natural just enough mix to give her a more glamorous look. Wonderful work!

...and this is beautiful, just like Storm :) Wonderful dynamic design and composition as always, Wilson. Did you ever catch Barry Winsor-Smith's Orroro story? Magical story...I might have to mail you a scan or two :)
