Description

A picture I drew for my mother and decided to show you all. ^^

The name is Spanish for "White Lady", an old legend from various parts of the globe with the same basic story;

A White Lady is a ghost of a beautiful, yet pale woman who is seen wearing a white dress or sleeping gown. In life, she was wronged in some way (usually by a husband/fiancé committing infidelity), causing her to kill herself. In death, she walks the roads at night, killing those whom are either unfaithful to their partner or unlucky enough to visit the sight of her death.

Now, even though it has nothing to do with Mexico in particular, I decided to give it a Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) theme to it, mainly cause my mother loves the style, and I do too.

(BTW, I used a fake día de los muertos skull for a reference, and it was nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find a good spinal cord reference to draw with, so I winged it.)

I included my usual signature on the top. ^^

Happy Birthday mom.:party:


(PS I hate DA's new submit page.)
