inspiration prompt #22 "swamp" and a bubble bath
materials Ohuhu brush tip markers, copic fine inking pens 0.1, Gelly R@ll White 1.0

Falling behind, horribly so, with keeping up with MerMay content...but mostly just glad to have some time to doodle a bit and to be playing around with my Ohuhu markers again and making more of a dent in my first proper sketchbook. Astrid (astrocat) gave me the framework of 'mermaid swamp princess' so I found some palette references and settled on this one for coloring and some shapes. I had initially thought about combining prompts, so her tail is based on some hippocampus art...but I feel like it is not representative enough of a hippocampus to count as two prompts. In any case, tail shape comes from those creatures Probably could use some more browns I think whatever prompt I tackle next, I really want to dip into my brown markers more
