Description Black and White version of 

i really liked how she looked like an old photo


I made this in between things as my first entry for the Character Design Challenge thats held monthly on patreon and facebook!
www.facebook.com/groups/Charac…

Ive been wanting to participate for months, just never had the time.
This month's theme was Venetian Masquerade.

My character is a venetian siren that lives in the canals beneath the city. 
She collects the fallen masks, ribbons, and treasures from the party goers above!

I can't help but wonder about who took the photo and how (s)he managed to persuade her to pose, even though she's clearly bored.

(And a teeny part of me wonders if she even knows what the cup is for - they aren't any use underwater after all, except as a kind of hand-holdable pot with no lid - but it's shiny and maybe that's enough - or maybe she can transform and goes about the city dressed as a fabulous lady, attending parties and knows all about cups and wine?)

So, small glimpse into my head - apologies for that, but this picture is lovely and fired up my imagination

you know, I thought about all that after the fact ! maybe a downstairs part of a Venetian building actually has glass windows that peer int the canal  
The Goblet is her Dinglehopper! She hardly knows how to use it, but she finds it curious and beautiful. I imagine she peeks over the docks at the masqueraders and imitates their merry-making  

I dooooo like that transformation idea though... hmmm... I may have to work on this character later!

Or picture some steampunk Venetian monster-hunter maybe in a bronze diving suit with a camera contraption? He'd be a Jonathon perhaps, or some very adventurous name that barely seems real (like, for example, "Indiana" >_> ). Maybe he collects monster heads for the Gentlemen Adventurers' Club but then has a change of heart for some reason... (I know, horribly cliché but still fun!).

I find the idea of her peeking at the party-goers and pretending she's one of them to be both sweet and sad (and a little bit creepy).

All in all: it's fantastic in every sense of the word! Great job on this
