Thank you Ursula! You are very inspiring and give great direction. I'm honored to have you reply to my page. I look forward to critiques from you if any that are possible!
There are moments where you begin a project, artwork, or anything creative and time is consumed by other responsibilities. At times we wish we could get back to them, but usually we have lost motivation by then. Well, finally I'm having that dejavu moment. Since viewing back at my pieces left on dusty shelves, I decided to finish them one by one!
This is a piece I started for a challenge on CGHUB from their challenges ! Unfortunately, around the time of creation, college assignments were kicking in and my motivation for this piece was forgotten. Well, the challenge was "Pin-Up Mermaid" from the 2D Character Forge section.
The Painting is named "A Mermaids Prayer" and here is the unfinished original for the challenge. Enjoy!
Taking time from a painting gives you a healthy and refreshed perspective when you return. Since this piece was forgotten, I was able to start anew from a completely fresh perspective. I did notice that her face was not symmaterical and a bit unproportionate if I were to flip the image. Also the direction in which her tentacle hair is flowing should flow to the other side since she's being pulled to the left of the painting. I decided to redraw her face, add some more tentacles and start from the canvas again.
Starting to feel a color scheme and need to work on the them for the atmosphere. Feel free to collaborate with me and add some input! It's always a beautiful moment when two or more brains can help create a story. Memories, experience, and a connection is developed. Plus, we are all learning from participating. Collaboration is totally worthwhile anytime, anyplace, with anyperson!
I'm reconsidering tilting her head again to show the pain and force of the pull.
