I was terrible late when I started working on this picture, only beginning yesterday and finishing today. So, naturally I had to do it very simple to get it finished on time.
I tried to give my character a slight upward angle in order to make her lean back on the rock, but I am not sure how you think it works out though. Perspective is a hard thing to get right.
I have skipped most of my usual details and instead made a simple picture without any distracting elements.
Please tell me what you think this time^^
Story.........
Letting her body rest against the big rock, her eyes wandered skywards to watch the sun’s journey across the sky. Not a particular exciting way to kill time, but as long as her hands were tied to the stone, she wasn’t likely to leave and do something more productive, and beside from the occasional cry from a bird, the only sound on the grass-plain was the rumbling sound coming from her bloated belly.
*Groan*
She looked down and stared at the unmistakably human features that pressed against her skin from the inside. It moved from time to time, but the tightness prevented any larger movements and therefore mostly stayed the same.
*Buurp*
The reason for her rather compromising, and humiliating, attachment to the stone, was because she had been accused for a crime. A not so friendly acquaintance of her had gone missing a few weeks prior, and since none were able to find said person or explain the sudden disappearance, people had turned their suspicions towards those who were on unfriendly terms. And not being able to convince them that she had nothing to do with the mysterious disappearance, she had been charged guilty and had been sentenced to “digest on it.”
This was a rather peculiar punishment among her people. The person accused for a serious crime would be bound to a stone and forced to swallow a family member, either as a direct punishment, or as a kind of pressure meant to reveal information before the family member was digested.
*Gloooorp*
And the family member in her case was her younger sister. She had plenty of time to muse on this where she currently was standing; one was that this kind of punishment was unfair for any innocent family member, something she never had though about before now. The other was that if you were trying to squeeze information from an innocent person by using this kind of leverage, said unguilty person wouldn’t have the possibility to prove his or her innocent before the family member was digested.
Sometime, society came up with terrible solutions.

So, she was tied up to the stone and swallowed her sister because she was falsely accused? I hope she will convince them her innocent and get her sister out!

Then she has to do something clever, and that pretty soon. But I will leave that up to your imagination.

If judging from what I have written in the text below,she probably still is.

Read my first reply to you to get the answer for that one.

OK. Reading your short story, it is seemed that this girl is innocent with the disappearance of heracquaintance. Is it right?

And if she want to tell everyone about something, what should she do? Around her, there seems no one around there.

The punishment should not be the other way around? that the younger sister digest the culprit? - excellent drawing <3

In primitive societies, crime and punishment has always been absurd, true justice and fair punishment is something that mostly belongs to the modern age. But I am glad you liked the drawing^^

She doesn’t look too broken up about it.

No, she doesn't but then again, I never spelled out in the text that she actually was innocent either, and maybe she "liked" her sister...

Good same-size scaling!
She looks like she's thinking, "Hmm... If I digest my sister, the townsfolk will know how I hid the body..."
