THORA!

This piece was inspired by a child of some friends of mine.
The child was torn between two characters, Thor and Dora the explorer.
My mind naturally merged the two together and Thora came into being.



I remember when I gave this to the child and seeing the excitement that it brought. 
Although, the real enjoyment came the other day when his mother relayed a story of him looking at the picture, almost a year later, and saying, "She my hero." and then continuing on his way. 
It reminded me of this picture. 

Here is the original sketch and the final piece.
