Description Tanirah is an ancient Goddess of the Seas and the Oceans, Blessing of Life. She is one of the four great ancient gods in the Haorohi panteon, alongside with her "siblings", Vaoku'ul, Bringer of End, Su'aoros, The Creator, and Ru'inar, Bringer of Life. She, unlike Ru'inar, loved both Su'aoros and Vaoku'ul, despite what Vaoku'ul did. According to legend, when Su'aoros was murdered by Vaoku'ul, she buried him under the deep ocean and then decided to lay herself on the waves of the ocean and the sea because of her broken heart for what Vaoku'ul did and she lost her ancient mask somewhere in the ocean floor. Sometimes she sink into the ocean or sea floor, sometimes she washed up ashore, sometime she walked the land and sometimes she swim into rivers and lakes. It is really rare to see or meet her somewhere else and she can mostly be found on the sea, ocean and the beach. There were times when someone meets her, although there aren't many known people in Haorohi history, but there are in mythology, three are the mostly known: firstly, a heartbroken Yuhul came to her because he wanted her to bury his dead wife into the ocean after she died from a cursed illness, and so she did; secondly, a witty, lustful and drunk Eoros wanted to hand her for marriage, but she refused and splashed him with a strong wave as punishment; finally, Kairah asked her to help her to get her ancestor's shield from the ocean floor and Tanirah agreed, so she made her breath underwater and guided her to the ocean to where Keirah's ancestral shield was.

I used Paint 3D for this artwork. That's my art style, it looks like as if it's an ancient drawing, for those who question my art style.

Wow, this is really cool! Your description really has the feel of a lived-in story. I love the origin story of how she became to be associated with the oceans, and the variety of reasons people came across her in mythology. Cool design too with the markings on her body!

I like it! Actually, when I first saw it I thought "Ooo, it's like one of those ancient paintings!" 
Also the colors are really good, they have a very soft feel.
