Having fun drawing some more cat-fish to accompany my cat lady mermaid

[StudioLooong]

Here's another rough idea I had to expand on my mer-granny and the catfish. I think I might try to add some color to my little spot illustrations I did yesterday and then work on bringing this idea to a final illustration.

Your cat-fish designs are awesome!

Wow. so cute. when I saw your rough sketch, for some reason it reminded me of the book "There's a Tiger in the Garden". I thought of it might be fun to introduce a grand-daughter character in your mermaid granny world.

[StudioLooong]

@xin-li thank you! I wasn't familiar with that book but I looked it up and the illustrations are beautiful! Adding in a kid mermaid could be fun

I'm working on one last mermaid piece before I start drawing things with legs again for a bit Here's my progress so far, I have the line work pretty much worked out and this is a rough value study.

@StudioLooong I love this garden piece. It’s got a lot going for it. Sweet and cute. You should work on a short story to accompany it. For what it’s worth, you got a hearty, “awwww, what a cute granny and purrmaid!” out of my 5 year old.

@JennyJones haha thanks so much

Not sure if I'm gonna call this one done or go back into it and refine some more...
