SeaLife Series

 

So when I'm not working on my senior exhibition in class, I'm working on my mini sea creature series.

Transforming sea creatures into girls with features to show what animal they represent. Seen above is the image that inspired this series, where I jellyfish and used the bell and tentacles as a hat while the other extensions of the jellyfish and her hair became a flowing gown.

I tried to stick within a cool color scheme, using mostly blues and blue-greens, but decided to use a purple for her hair and for the lower part of the dress to bring focus to her face and to draw the eye around the full image.

This second image is of a blue-ringed octopus girl, resting on a dock after trying to pull herself up. I still decided ti stick with watercolors and decided to make her entire body the skin tone because the blue-ringed octopus' coloration is similar to a human's skin tone.

With the tentacles, I tried to make each one have it's own personality and have it doing a different action, much like a really octopus.
