Description
So, I still have problems with anatomy and proportions. This piece is finally done, and that's about all I can hope for (since it was technically started in 2004 - but with a different piece without the hydra, but it was pretty neat *sniffle*). Her dress was the first thing colored in the whole piece, who knows HOW long before all the rest was done (which I ended up spending most of two days finishing the coloring). And *gasp* I didn't use Prismacolors, for some odd reason; I may just end up going back and using some though... maybe.

And again with the scanner. I should probably go through my pics and actually take pictures of them. Maybe that would work better... The scanner did darken the upper left hand corner of the picture, as well as blur it a little.

This is the second in the elemental sorceress series, which matches the element with related mythical and fantasy creatures. I chose two merpeople (of course), a "seahorse," and a hydra (rawr).

Drawn in mechanical pencil, colored with Crayola map pencils, on sketch paper. Some smoothing over in The Gimp after scanning.

[EDIT] I used The Gimp and went through to smooth over the pencil strokes so they wouldn't be as textured. I mostly like how it turned out. Megan ventures into the world of digital art! Whoo! For comparison, you can view the original at [link]
