Wow!! Pankendra has a really eye-catching design! Your colour work is attractive and I love the bioluminescent glow she has about her!
I feel so bad about her father. The world truly is a cruel place. It's also a shame she had to find out the hard way that a persistent lack of love between the races hurts a lot of people.
My only nitpick would be that there wouldn't be fairy elders who would speak of everyone as being not so different. The cultural tensions already led to a war and there is still so much pain and blame left behind. You may have perhaps a grandparent or someone in her family that admires her unyielding albeit naive beliefs, but most Nereids of older generations will think she is a fool.
I am still super curious to know who killed her father. D: The jewellery creation is a nice touch as well! No doubt she has a great sense of style and beauty and would bring that to her craft. Thank you very much for creating this lovely Nereid for our contest!

AHHHHH thank you!!!! I thought you were going to say how disappointing it is xD but to know that my effort was good enough makes me full of joy! And yes it was harsh of that creature to do such harm, it can really scar someone to get news in this sort of way, when you think you come back home to see your family yet you find grievance and gossip of your fathers death. The story in itself isn't supposed to be sad, at least I didn't mean it (in all honesty since I have extreme problems with my father and since he has been gone from my life for a while, even though he can be eager to get back into it... so because of that it is hard for me to imagine what it would actually be like to have a nice and caring father... because of that most, of my characters only have mothers or no parents at all, or they are adult and their parents have passed away due to old age) I like the glowing touch as well! I saw most of the Nereids drawn that have their tails really shiny as if they were almost jelly like, but I can't draw that sort of stuff so I wanted to add something else eye-catching.
I can perfectly understand what you mean with that, I guess I should've been more specific (will edit that part) but it has been only once in her childhood that an elder Nereid spoke like that because of his stories about how "in my young days" he got saved by a strange looking fairy which he couldn't recognize, but clearly could tell it wasn't a Nereid so it got to him to rethink the whole situation between all of the races and how at core they aren't that different. Everyone just calls him insane and treats him like he has lost his mind as from that time when he came back he had a serious head injury (which could have caused a hallucination of this sort and damaged his brain enough to make him forget some of the core beliefs). The only reason Pankendra actually paid attention and wanted to believe it's truth and wisdom was because of her kind nature and because the old Nereid was her great grandfather from her father's side. They were really close to eachother, but after that one time her parents found out and threatened the old Nereid to not speak of his 'nonsense again and to stop corrupting young Pankendra's naive mind'.
I hope that is good enough of an explanation! I was thinking of revealing it later on (if I would ever do a comic with her), but I guess everything should be made clear now for the contest! And I will try to do another entry for this contest... it might or might not be related to the murderer and it might contain some other lore as well, maybe from a different point of view? WHO KNOWS?! xD And yup I have always been fascinated with jewelry crafting mastership, long time watcher, no time spent practicing xD Thank you for the informative comment and for taking the time to write it! ^=^

So I absolutely love this, I adore how much detail you put into the body definition/musculature and
the digital painting you did on them is astounding. I really admire the way you did the values of light and shadow too!
Sorry for being that random commenter, I just thought I'd pop out and give credit where it's so obviously due!!!
