uisgich

Title: Mermaid
Artist: Uisgich
Rating: G
Fandom: None
Content Notes: Graceful mermaid heading towards the surface to enjoy the sunshine. Created using pastels on mid blue pastel paper.

Current Mood: cheerful

seleneheart

Title: The Polar Sea
Artist:

seleneheart
Rating: G
Fandom: original art
Characters/Pairings: whale mermaid
Content Notes: I was searching for bathing suit pics for references for this challenge and saw a pic of someone in a bikini resting on the edge of a sheet of ice and wearing a toque. Thus we have this whale mermaid. I had way too much fun making the cracks in the ice berg and had to stop myself. Kept the palette limited to get it desaturated. Watercolors (everything except the toque is ultramarine, burnt sienna, and phthalo blue), Bleedproof White, Pentalic Aquajournal.

Content Notes: Created for the MerMay challenge. I used the #MerMay prompt "Mermaidize a friend". Thanks to

clevermanka for providing me with an awesome selfie, which I turned into this AU. :D Painted with watercolours.

I found these two YouTube videos very helpful for giving me a place to start with getting the lighting right for painting underwater using watercolours.
