MerMay 2022

It happened, and it kicked my tail. No pun intended ;)

But the important thing is, I FINISHED. On the last day of May! No catching up for me:)

Mermaids and how to become one

I haven’t struggled this much with a composition in forever. Usually it’s the thing that comes easiest! But it was still my favorite part of the process:)

This piece with through several iterations. Dark water or light? Blood or no blood? I have included all for your perusal.

Right now, the one on the right is my favorite. I imagined the story behind it being that a woman was dressed as a sailor and got found out. They tied her up and threw her overboard to swim with the fishes. She will :)

Mermaids save her, of course. Then she has her revenge as a siren. If anyone has recommendations for books with mermaids or women dressing up as men to sail or do something considered a man’s job, PLEASE let me know!

A Knight's Vigil

What do you call a cross between a knight, hair made of water, neon light, medieval illumination and crosshatching? This piece:)

I LOVE this piece. Definitely my favorite that I’ve made in a while:)

Basically, I started out drawing the border, then a knight within. He’s standing watch over something. Are the water spirits dangerous? I don’t know. Maybe they’re supposed to tempt him away from duty. Maybe I’ll delve back into this world later.

Look at the borders!!!! I love them! Medieval Illumination is awesome, and I fully intend to do more of it. You can’t stop me>:)
