I like the concept. I like the texture for the water, and her hair. I always have a hard time drawing hair underwater..but that looks great, Its simple, but it gets the job done!

Thanks for the link, thats some cool stuff :3 Very lovely piece! I love the pose, even if you referenced it. It looks realistic, but still gavaized :3 Great warm colours and I love how the hair is reduced to a single shape, very nice touch! I especially like the way you drew her butt, legs, and feet! Very nice piece, and I love the overall colours of course <3

on the free texture library, did you look into the water one, or maybe did something else?
The background on here reminds me of a Japanese wind/water design, which I love it. It also reminds me of the thing in windows media player....the thing they throw in when your listening to music, giving you that funky designs and such. It reminds me of the one that's called "Smoke or Water?"
This came out awesome. To me, the visible arm looks abit small...but then again, look at my stuff....I don't have much room to talk. Your's is much better. *sniffle*
either way, I love it all. This is definately going into my favorites.
Keep it up!

Looking great so far. I might of used her arm to propel in her in the water, but it's really fine as-is. :3

I like the dagger that on the side of her leg, look like shes going down there to come back with something...

I assume she's diving into the sea right. Maybe a tad more blue values will reinforce the idea, though that yellow, water color on paper effect do bring out the Japanese feeling.

thanks, yeah, i have been workin on it since i uploaded and i've pulled back on the green a bit. but i was thinking of how the water is murky and green down below~ maybe not sewage green like this though, haha.

Murky and green? That's an unpleasant thought. My hats off to anyone who has to be immersed in it everyday.

oo that is intensely nice! and thanks for linking the textures <3
I like that you make her look very clichingly like a typical fantasy of female drivers, almost mermaid like

cheers man, yeah, the other versions of the divers will be uploaded later, when i have time, but i wanted her to look fake, like a James Bond take on an ama diver, or a porn movie one X3

That's why I love it so much, haha that's totally what, if you described the ama diver without physical description to a random person, would think.
