Maids of the Sea

Or,

Never let a colorblind man color without the reference.

It occurred to me that I have never drawn a mermaid in my life.

But this afternoon, I was waiting for other stuff to happen, and I did a silly sketch that I liked.

everything since was a disaster.

I made canvas too big, used a brush too thin, drew without the reference, and then decided to color to my own taste.

A chain of mistakes.

But we live and learn.

Anyhow, here is the fruit of an hour and a half of struggle.

Icing on the cake was the moment when I hit save, and my computer went pale.

I spent about 5 minutes dancing around it, cursing my luck ( nothing enrages me more than fucking PS crashing and loosing the work from scratch)

After all these years I am still an impulse saver. never remember to save or to increment my saves.

I do remember when shit goes wrong.

Also, I think that my PC is on its last legs, and I can not afford a new one.

bah,

all that.

Cheers to all,

Milenko
