Challenge 36: Mermay

[minoanmiss]

This challenge lit my fingers on fire!

Title: Luminosity Mermaid
Artist: minoanmiss
Rating: G
Fandom: Mermaids
Characters/Pairings: a mermaid and a floating orb
Content Notes: I am just beginning to learn what I tried here.







I hope it's obvious what I was trying to do here. It didn't quite work -- I think next time instead of drawing rings and trying to blend their edges I need to draw the rings of light using the blending tool to start with -- but I liked it enough to show you my kind and patient peeps. :)

I love her gauzy dress!

[minoanmiss]

*beams* Thank you. :) I saw a mermaid in a translucent dress and had to draw my own...

[mific]

I like her! She looks as though she's in an opal.

[minoanmiss]

Oh wow, thank you!

[goss]

I like how the swirl of her hair and dress gives that feel of floating. And concept of the light shining amidst that all-encompassing darkness of the ocean depths. I'm so glad this month's challenge has sparked your muse! :D

[minoanmiss]

I have had a ludicrously good time with all these mermaids. :D

[seleneheart]

The lighting is really cool, and I love how you've indicated the transparency of her dress. And the dress overall is pretty nice too!

[minoanmiss]

Thank you so much! I need to work on the light effects but I feel very encouraged now. :D

[amberdreams]

But this way it's like bokeh, so it still works! 💕

[minoanmiss]

oh my goodness eee I didn't know there was a term for that! Thank you twice!

[stranger]

I like the color choices, and the sense of floating.

[minoanmiss]

*beams* Thank you very much. :)

[adafrog]

[minoanmiss]

Thank you. :)

BTW, I like the concision of your comments. You always pick the correct word.

[adafrog]
