Stoic Irja by @HereticNinja

Just something a little quick to draw, where a young Irja drinking by herself and reflecting how things will no longer be the same anymore for her. In public she puts on a strong attitude and resilience to her new challenges in her life. Now when she has time away from others, Irja quietly drinking then singing a lullaby that her mother used to sing to her, the same lullaby she sings to her children before they go to sleep. Alone Irja begins singing the lullaby to herself but alas she cannot complete it as her thoughts dwell on her troubles.

The lullaby by the way is Nuku Nuku Nurmilintu.
