I am starting a new project I hope everyone loves, cause I certainly do. Furmaids I know furry mermaids are already a thing, but I wanted to let my creative freedom flow and draw something that wasn't mine or other peoples' characters.

This project is going to include my love for all aquatic things, mixed with my love of drawing and designing anthros. I absolutely adore mermaids, dolphins, fish, water pokemon, all to the point of not even realizing how much I've surrounded myself with aquatic knick knacks. I want this to be a learning project for me. One where I step out of my comfort zone and improve my art in an achievable way. With each piece I will try something new, or work on one of my weak points that I have pointed out to myself, and that friends have helped point out for me. Each piece will have a generic land animal, and a generic sea animal, but I plan to add more flair in the future while still keeping each animal recognizable.

This time, I drew a panda mixed with an orca Their markings match up perfectly, yet both are easily recognizable. I worked on three weak points in this piece: perspective, shading, and backgrounds. When I usually draw arms, there's typically no perspective. This time I tried to let them flow freely from the body, stretched out on each side. While it's not perfect, it's something I need to practice on, and I'll only get better with practice. Shading has a different effect underwater than it does on the surface. It's much softer, and with a bright floor (or pool walls), light easily bounces off these surfaces and illuminates everything with a softness. It's really beautiful to me, so I tried to capture that with a more soft shading style instead of having stark lines. Backgrounds will always be a flaw of mine, but I have grown from having transparent backgrounds, to some colors with texture, to finally dabbling with actual settings. While this setting is an empty open ocean, it also compliments the character well without clutter.

Overall, I am super duper happy to be working on aquatic creatures, and I really hope I can push myself to make more of these. I already have a folder saved with tons of ideas, and am open to suggestions, whether it be a land animal you'd like to see, sea animal, or both! My next project should be a fox mixed with a koi fish. If you want to see more, please let me know! I love getting comments, favorites, compliments, praise, it's what keeps me motivated and wanting to draw more.

I want to note that I MIGHT be selling prints of these furmaids in the future at conventions. With the help of Kravlin I may be able to display or sell prints at the furry conventions he regularly attends, which would be an absolute honor. I really just want to display my art and gain more publicity more than anything.
