Description Done with Sakura Micron pens. This was actually part of a practice ink series with samaryllis.deviantart.com/art/… samaryllis.deviantart.com/art/… and samaryllis.deviantart.com/art/… but then the other people in my class were slackers and only finished like one practice piece so my teacher canceled the third practice piece requirement...after I'd started. Haha. This is what happens when I'm on top of things.

Done without refs so everything is terrible. OTL I like her swimsuit/shirt pattern, though. I-I've always wanted an excuse to do that pattern--

UPDATED non-crooked version. : ) Download for a super massive size!

Okay, I think I'm getting this. *whips out pen and paper* Tropical bright colors -3- YAY. I might add a Paopu fruit from Kingdom Hearts in the background just because I'm obsessed, and am liking this theme.

Your imagination never ceases to amaze me. I swear, your gallery has some of the most inspirational/creative things I've ever seen in my life xD, and this is definitely one of them. I just.. the theme was so well-put together. Her outfit design, with all the scales... I love how it gives off that mermaid vibe, goes super well with the hair of marine-life xD.
Lovely job <3.

SAmaryllis In reply to Rexcalibur [2011-06-24 16:33:46 +0000 UTC]

Aghhh you're too kind. <3;;;; Haha I dunno, this year I've just kind of thrown up all the ideas that've been stewing for the past couple years into my school art projects, so I guess this is what happens. Also, I've actually started, like, planning my pieces, so, that might also be why haha. ;;; Being in a (pseudo) class where I could see a bunch of other artists' work was also great.

MajorWhoaButWhy [2011-05-15 01:34:28 +0000 UTC]

This is just so fascinating. All the sea creatures entwined in her hair is amazing, and I really like the pattern on her outfit too.

LunaTheOtaku [2011-05-14 15:37:15 +0000 UTC]

The pattern is cool, it looks like scales.

The sea critters are fairly recognizable, and you can write off some of the worse ones as abstract/surrealism/I don't know fancy art terms.

SAmaryllis In reply to LunaTheOtaku [2011-05-17 02:30:11 +0000 UTC]

8'D That was what I was aiming for. Success! (?)

Pffff okay, I'll go with that. XD Luckily there is a "surreal" category on dA...

This is pretty weird, but enjoyably so XD Why did your teacher want you guys to draw this exactly?

SAmaryllis In reply to MalimarTheMage [2011-05-15 04:22:27 +0000 UTC]

XDDD I excel in weirdity!
Umm my first semester teacher wanted us all to choose whatever medium and do three practice pieces before doing a larger final piece. I had happened to choose ink pen for that project, so. XD Otherwise it was pretty open-ended. I've realized I don't like open-ended. Baha.

MalimarTheMage In reply to SAmaryllis [2011-05-15 14:30:47 +0000 UTC]

Okay
Open-ended for me usually ends with me doing something completely different from what my teacher wanted me to do and having to re-do it XD

SAmaryllis In reply to MalimarTheMage [2011-05-15 17:04:05 +0000 UTC]

XDDD Exactly! I need some form of restriction or else I just sit there going "what should I do D:" and then what I end up doing they don't really like...pff.

MalimarTheMage In reply to SAmaryllis [2011-05-15 18:05:03 +0000 UTC]

Ditto, but I don't mind working without restrictions too, as long as I'm not drawing for school XD It usually takes me longer to think of something if I don't have restrictions.

SAmaryllis In reply to MalimarTheMage [2011-05-17 02:21:49 +0000 UTC]

Right? Because without restrictions everything is just up in the air and then I get all indecisive and it's hard to choose what you want. XD

MalimarTheMage In reply to SAmaryllis [2011-05-18 02:37:38 +0000 UTC]

Same here. I need some sort of direction to go in, even if it's only a vague topic and not any proper instructions! XD
