Description My OC Thetis. She's a fairy mermaid, and since I wanted to get back to training some watercolor effects (like underwater reflection) and I haven't drawn any of my OC's in forever, I thought it would be a good opportunity to do so.
I hope you like it, and thanks for looking!
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Time: 8 hours
Tools:
0,4 Pentel mechanical pencil;
0,1 sepia and Black Copic multiliner;
Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils;
Ecoline watercolors;
Posca poster marker;
Sakura pastels;
Acrilex Matte Varnish for finishing.
Painted on B5 sized Winsor&Newton watercolor paper, 300g/m².

Linda a composição das cores. Gostei muito desse verde dos cabelos dela.
Acho que o arranjo floral na cabeça foi a "cereja do bolo". Lindo mesmo! Deve ter dado trabalho... Parabéns.

OMG...I love the water's colour~~~I've always admired artists with water colouring skill....I'm a poor traditional artist myself coz I did too many digital works. Keep it up ~~~

Thank you so much!
Perhaps you should give more chances to traditional media, then like I should to digital.
I will!

Nice work. At first I thought it was the great fairy from the zelda games. Oh well still great though. How's things going?

true, it does look like her a bit. I did draw the Great Fairy once, but I only posted it on tumblr.
Busy! I'm in the middle of moving process.

Moving off of DA?

VelCake In reply to Fire-Link [2013-12-07 07:13:44 +0000 UTC]

Not really. I just prefer to post my sketches and fanart outside dA, unless it has more work on it, then I post here. 
I do like tumblr though.

I got my own tumblr account, but I like how DeviantArt is designed. Seems more organized to me.

I agree, the design and browsing of tumblr is messed and confusing. It took me ages to understand how that place work.

Yeah, just I don't see why people use it for art? DA system works and it's simple.
