MerMay

Postby Macyduke » Sun May 27, 2018 4:29 pm

Been working on my contribution to MerMay all week. I wanted her hair to look a bit like Lapis's from Steven Universe as I'm a big fan of it, but only in the front part. It's not really visible since her ear fins get in the way, but she's got a ponytail...
Moving on! It turns out I really like drawing rocks.

...I'll draw something with the little mermaids in the background being the focus later on.

References:
Pose: Mainly this one, and I tried this one for the arm but it ended up looking more like the first reference but I did manage to put the front of her in the drawing a little more.
Sharks: 1, 2
Starfish: boop
Inspiration:
boop, boop, and boop

;-; Didn't know this got featured. Thank you so much for telling me! Drawing something good enough to be featured on cs has been a long time goal of mine, so its especially surprising to find that something that I expected it to fade into the background of my gallery is getting featured. Thanks staff!

an adorable character and a really nice piece! The only think I noticed was that the right thumb is facing outward instead of inward (I know, I know! I'm sorry for bringing it up!!! If it matters, i once forgot to give a character thumbs altogether and all anyone who didn't read the Disc to the speedpaint cared about was how I gave the character more eyes than he has in canon XD)
I love your use of water and shading, as well as the scenery!

This is lovely and by far my favorite feature of this round. My only advice, however, is that the thumb on the right hand is facing outwards on this piece when it should be facing inwards. ^-^
