This is spectacular. Sakura pink works so well with Yumeki. I'm tempted to make his Wand Cherry Wood but I don't want to overdue that theme XD. It's an explosion of it all over these graphics, so maybe I should

And I think i see it correctly but is that the shape of a cherry blossom flower on the left in the signature faded into the background?
I looked at your water colors as well while I was here. You never cease to amaze me.
So glad you like them, Jay. These are a lot busier than what I typically do, but the textures and colors kept giving me happy accidents. And yes, that is one of the cherry blossoms

there are a few in there but that may be the most prominent one.
I haven't dabbled in water colors yet, you're seeing all my Ohuhu marker work

I really threw things at the wall to see what would stick...and everything happened to stick this time. The stars aligned for me

It has been a moment since I picked up a pencil and sketched something that wasn't ice cream for my online students, so there was a lot of erasing involved before I felt like body proportions and especially the tail looked the way I 'wanted' it to. I had messed around with her hair for a bit too...and then the spiral just stuck and it seemed to flor with the rest of her body position and the round shape of a tadpole's head...so it stuck
The sketch itself did not take all that long, surprisingly, and instead of inking my line art first...I put the color down and then inked. This was a recommendation from a couple of YouTubers that I watch and, honestly, it did take a lot of pressure off when it came to the line art because the color was already there and the process went much smoother.
I've tried to participate in MerMay in the past...drew a couple of fruit mermaids two years ago and entirely missed doing anything in May last year. Not sure how much I will be able to accomplish this May, but going to give it a solid go!
