Merman - Watercolor

OK, so I don't draw many male images... but when I

was sketching up my new mermaid digis, I decided they 

HAD to be made. I drew my not so skinny guy, Merlin, 

and then his companion, Myrtle. Then I decided to make a more

'handsome' merman. I always have a harder time drawing men, but

was happy with the way he came together. 

I visited splitcoast stampsers and saw that they are challenging 

us over at the mixability challenge to use the SPARKLING WATERCOLORS technique. 

I created my background paper using crayola watercolor. I painted then crumpled the wet paper,  straightened it back out and let it dry. I then added crystal stickles, and

blue smooch. The sandy sea floor was made by adding

 Shabby White Frantage to the bottom of the image. 

Marinus Digital Stamp - Fresh Brewed Designs

My digital stamp, Marinus, was colored with Copic and prismacolor makers 

then painted over with creative inspirations paint: fairy dust.

I do think this project would have looked better as a tag, 

but I ran out of time. :(
