Mindscapes

The piece I completed yesterday led me to the start of a mini-series named Mapping Mindscapes, where I want to explore the the role and strength of feisty women in their own dreamscapes. I haven't mapped out the approach yet, and kind of just want to take it one day at a time but Maps was definitely the start of it. I'm just working on the ram skull helmet that would be worn by the protagonist in my next piece. Here's the work in progress so far.

I've simultaneously started drawing out the portrait of the woman wearing this skull. My gut tells me to go with her bare body but a cape of some sort would be great for texture. Lets see how it plays out :) Here's the drawing so far.
