July contest

for the amusing muses July contest, i felt like doing a little space-themed doll. the purple bead attached on the bottom represents the planet/not a planet Pluto. :) every month they put out a new challenge (see my cyclops bunny from May). for this challenge we were given a template with the goddess body shape, a pair of wings, and a mermaid tail. we could use any of the shapes however we felt. i cut out the main body and debated what to do. then i thought: blue. so i painted her as the star field and then cut out and painted all the planets. there's a small bit of craft foamy stuff in between the body and the planets, this way they stand out some. i went over everything and painted gold paint along the body and some detail on the planets. i hate that using a higher resolution on the scanner causes my computer to shut down. 300 just doesn't do it any justice. :(
