My merman is finished! ^^

Merman Sketch 3

Haven’t had much time to work on this lately because I’m working on a commission and some other stuff, but here’s a small update.

Merman Sketch 2

Okies, figured out the background – I love sharks so much! ^___^ I spent most of highschool drawing sharks in my books, on my bag , just everywhere! I haven’t drawn them in ages and man, I have missed them. So, all going well there shall be more of them gracing my gallery soon!

Merman Sketch

Just a quick sketch of a merman.^^

Flotsam

Flotsam

Photoshop CS & Wacom Intuos 3.
2008.

“She waits for the sea to wash ashore anything
with a bit of a shine or sparkle to adorn her flowing chestnut locks.”

I used a photo of the gorgeous Lucia as a reference for the pose.

See the work in progress here. ^^

Flotsam – WiP

Hey Sah, remember this?!??!

A couple of years ago we were gonna do a combo sorta thing where I painted “Flotsam” and you painted “Jetsam”? I just dug this out this morning and decided to finally finish her! XD

So where’s Jetsam huh? HUUUUH?!?!??!

“The Golden Mermaid”

(Acrylics & Coloured Pencil on 300gsm Acrylic paper).

“Flash of gold in a sea of green,
glistening scales under the waves,
beautiful and dazzling is she,
the golden mermaid of the sea.”

You can see the original sketch here, and the work in progress here.

The Golden Mermaid – WiP

Okies, still as messy as ever but you can see some basic colours anyhoos. (I’m posting these for you Sah!)

PS – Sah, I’m just gonna upload here as I go. Also, the flash didn’t always work so some of the colours may look weird in a couple of pics.

The Golden Mermaid – Sketch

My next acrylic piece! ^^ It’s going to be all light green-blues in the water, pale blue sky with fluffy white clouds and the mermaid herself will be golden (duh). I might post progress shots…I don’t know yet. ~_^

BTW, she’s clinging to a rock that juts through the surface of the water as waves crash around her. My sketches are always so messy, heh… e_e
