Mermay 2018: Octo-Tail Mermaid

This is the first year I'm doing the annual #MerMay online event where artists submit daily images of mermaids. Here's this week's image, the Octo-Tail Mermaid.
Rotated the image by 90 degrees, blotted and cross-hatched the background

Original pencil sketch
Cleaned up the pencil line with digital penciling
Laying down the base colors before adding highlights, shading, and details

I wasn't happy about her ink at that bottom - so a change was made as seen above

Mermay 2018: Shark-Tail Mermaid

The second image I did for the online event MerMay2018, where artists submit their mermaid illustration during the month of May.

My final version of a Shark-Tail Mermaid with various shy neighbors
