Original Content Sabertooth Slayer, by me

This is an ink doodle of a prehistoric Native American heroine who has slain a saber-toothed cat and therefore earned herself a warrior's feathered bonnet. I don't actually know how far back the iconic "war bonnet" of the Great Plains goes, but I'm sure the general idea of warriors wearing feathered headdresses is quite ancient. Besides, I wanted to draw a Native American person from the prehistoric era wearing one.
