a digital painting of a light skinned, dark haired, blue tailed mermaid sleeping on a giant black pvc pipe in the ocean.

rying this out cause I am bored in a hotel, but it is a cool way to talk more in depth about making art since it is an actual blog. This piece was inspired by a seal I saw the other day and snapped a picture of.

a harbor seal sleeping a tube/pipe floating in the ocean water

to which I then added an Adorkastock reference since it is such a fun sleeping pose

a light skinned, dark haired woman is laying face down. She is poorly photoshopped onto a tube/pipe floating in the ocean water

Isn't are fun?

Anyway, I want to see how the tagging system here works and if it would be a good fit for uploading a bunch of old stuff into categories for people to easily filter out OCs and stories. Man, I miss when dA was not shit, but alas.
