Nyanja the Abanti Huntress

This is a character named Nyanja which I created after receiving some inspiration from one of the great fantasy artists, Frank Frazetta. She lives in a savage prehistoric world where dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts run wild, armed with an obsidian spear to hunt and fend off danger!

By the way, I actually did two versions of this artwork, one with a breast covering for her and one without. I personally prefer the one without the covering, but unfortunately we live in a society where showing female nipples is taboo in certain venues. 🙁

UPDATE 4/2/23: Originally, Nyanja’s loincloth and top were going to be snakeskin, but I’ve decided to change the fabric to barkcloth (a textile woven from bark fibers like that many Central African as well as Pacific Island cultures produce) since I felt that tree bark would be an easier material for people in her culture (who now have a name, the Abanti) to obtain for processing into everyday clothing than the skins of dangerous giant snakes.
