Reaching Out

This took a couple of days, which it really shouldn't have, because I could have finished it in one day. But my tablet had other ideas. Every single time I opened the file, my tablet decided it didn't want to work anymore.

But today, it finally gave in and let me finish my work.

I am so unbelievably proud of this. I just..guh. Blood, sweat, and tears and it's amazingly beautiful to me, even though it does have it's imperfections.

I wanted to draw a mermaid so bad, I'm so glad it turned out the way I did.

I do want people to point out the mistakes, like in anatomy or lightening, but I probably won't change it. I'm happy JUST the way it is.

I used;
this water background tutorial: [link]

And a texture from cgtextures.com (A snake texture, to be specific. I used the scales for the tail)





"'Cause I don't know you
And you don't know me
It's the same sun rising
We all just look to the sky
If we try
We can work it out somehow
If you don't know me
And I don't know you
How can we be fighting
We're all connected it's true
Reaching out
It's only love that pulls us through"
