Finally updated Pocahontas! I don't think this is what people were expecting as the next entry in the series, but some of the criticisms of my first design have been eating away at me for years now and I needed to get off my ass and address them.

So hey! Spunky age-appropriate Pocahontas/Matoaka, sans feathers in the hair/European imagery/other superfluous details. This is closer to accounts and illustrations of Powhatan dress from the period, and I kinda think it's closer to the Disney design anyway. WIN/WIN.

Thanks to everyone who's educated my ass over the past couple of years, including moniquill, apihtawikosisan, this-is-not-native, and numerous others. You've made me a way more thoughtful artist in the process. :)

I'm sooooo glad you redid this! The original was so sexualized and and I love that you included a wampum necklace. Mad respect! :)

She's got a lot more teenage attitude. In fact what I suppose I might expect.

Those white dots near the fringe on her skirt, are those shells or some kind of beading? Or something completely different?

Great pic! I really love the design and knowing that it's quite historical correct just makes it even more incredible. It's also a joy to see her body type, which gives her a more unique feeling and those necklaces are really beautiful.
Well done!

I think I like both versions equally. They're both better than the disney design.

Definitely seems more realistic, especially after just watching a documentary on the Jamestown settlement and John Smith
