I have always thought that water sprites and mermaids should be just as mysterious and deadly as their less fantastical counterparts...
Also, I know I'm a bit behind the curve on this, but I'm currently OBSESSED with this book.
Anyway, I hope everyone is well! Have a very happy Valentine's Day!
Does anyone have special plans? ^_-
Oh! This is wonderful! I was drawn to this straight away. I love the deep purples and high contrasting white silhouettes for the water plants, all those details the way it stems off everywhere and yet flows so perfectly, you are amazing :)
ReplyDeleteI'm always jealous when you post new work. Your style is just so...marvelous! It looks as though she is radiating;I also love the added corals.
ReplyDeleteMysteriously beautiful! Love the purple. I like how you make the light glowing around her. Seems like she has some magic to lure you in :-)
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to try the Hunger Games now. It seems too many people talk about it :-)
I love the purple! Also, I know how mermaids are made! hehe
ReplyDelete<3 you
She's looking very mysteriously lovely :D Don't get too close unless you're prepared to encounter her! hehe~
ReplyDeleteOh she is just lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I especially love when mermaids have pointy or gill-like ears (I just did a mermaid piece, too...heehee)...
ReplyDeleteThe seaweed look of her top is great...and the lighting, truly magical :)
She is gorgeous! Love the purple!

Hello Sara. How are you? :)
ReplyDeleteNow I like your gorgeous sprite. There's something mysterious and innocently sensuous about her. The purple just works really well with the whole piece.
