Den Blomstertid.

Today it's midsummer's day in Sweden.

To be honest that's not exactly why I strated to work on this pic. The girl herself was a character concept I drew earlier this spring. (Her name is Juni btw, fitting for this month too ) The coloring was suppsoed to be simple, but I wanted to work on something so I decided to go all out on this pic.

The dress is inspiréd by traditional swedish folk clothes. The pattern on her skirt is partly a old swedish pattern at well, I saw it and thought'd it'd look nice so I drew it onto the skirt.

The text at the bottom is a summer psalm/hymn named 474 Den Blomstertid [link]
It's a biblical hymn but I am sure it's one of the most well known songs in Sweden. I wanted to add it because it feels like summer for me.

And this pic is all about swedish summer.
