Piper from a scene everyone should know pretty well by now, when Aphrodite claims her by giving her a makeover. I had done a sketchy version of this scene before for class one day, but I actually wanted to do a color one, so here it is (: I'm happy with how fast I finished this! I also really like how it turned out, particularly that reflection. It worked out a lot better than I expected, haha.

For reference, the quote:
Everyone stared at Piper like she’d just exploded. She wondered what she’d done wrong. Then she realized there was a reddish glow around her.
Her clothes … what in the world was she wearing? She despised dresses. She didn’t own a dress. But now she was adorned in a beautiful white sleeveless gown that went down to her ankles, with a V-neck so low it was totally embarrassing. Delicate gold armbands circled her biceps. An intricate necklace of amber, coral, and gold flowers glittered on her chest, and her hair …

Her hair was perfect: lush and long and chocolate brown, braided with gold ribbons down one side so it fell across her shoulder. She even wore makeup, better than Piper would ever know how to do herself—subtle touches that made her lips cherry red and brought out all the different colors in her eyes.
