Coinhero's sketchbook

[Coinhero]

so while working on this today I must have pressed some key combination or something because all of my layers except for the one that I keep the vines on got merged and I had already done 30+ mins of work and didn't want to start over from a backup... so working on this today was a huge pain in the ass =/
I like a lot of thing in this image and want to repaint others but everything considered I'm happy with this, it was a nightmare from start to finish and that's always a good sign, I'll noodle around fixing stuff on this tomorrow and I might repaint the tiger head if I'm not too lazy. Painting a god damn tiger swimming with a girl on its back is fucking hard to pull of. 
  I've got 2 super tiny ink sketches and some notes I did for what I want to do next but there like really hard and my brain muscle is mushy at the moment. Also I've been thinking about making something with more meat to it with these two or come up with a name at least, I don't want to do the thing where an artist just perpetually makes concept art for there personal project that's not a thing but it's so hard not to. I also thought I would just combine some japanese word together to easily get a name for the girl, something simple like tiger girl in japanese, but that would be something like Torasho or Torashoujo and that sounds fucking stupid... nothing is ever easy is it.
I don't know if I like how much this sketchbook thread is just turning in to a public diary but there's something therapeutic about getting your thoughts out of your head.
