That tail creature is amazing

Thanks! I was just playing around with the items, and it jumped out at me, so I went with it.

Very Seussian without being derivative.

I just realised I haven't posted anything on here for a while so here's an entry I made a while back (March) for the One Part, Many Characters contest. I tried some new techniques inspired by Harlequin's tutorials.

Here's another one from the same week. This was more of a quick, fun one.

Thanks Herr D for the advice, and thanks Weilyn for the feedback. I'm off to add to the background.

My first thought was, "Huh... it looks like she's trying to slip out of her seal skin." (I was not familiar with the selkie myth) so I think you executed that very well. And the spots on her shoulder is a great touch.

Ouch--I was thinking of the wrong legend. 'Hide' a thumb inside the seal skin, then. As far as the background goes, sea is tough. Rocky promontories can be cobbled together for interesting shapes. Embiggened capes and hair do pretty well. That's part of what I did for my 'The 2 Explorers' background. A vague ship shape hidden by fog is something you might do very well, based on some of your pieces . . .

I give this character my seal of approval. Lol

I thought about doing a gradual transition, but that doesn't really fit with the Selkie myth, that they turn into seals by putting on a magical sealskin, and turn back into humans by taking it off. I was trying to show her taking off the skin, but I'm not sure how well that works or how to make it clearer.

I'm glad you like the seal spots, I wasn't sure if they worked. Any suggestions for the background? I haven't had much practise with them and I don't think this one really works.

Adding seal spots to the woman half works well. Personally I like a fading effect from body to body. I understand some people prefer a 'lip' or ridge of a third color between them. I'm afraid I don't know what's easier or more effective overall.

I thought I'd make a selkie using the new Seal body. If you can't see the whole thing click the link at the bottom.

It's not finished, and I'd like some feedback on how it could be better.
