I am not ashamed to admit that I like the painting "The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife" by Katsushika Hokusai for its sensuality and Japanese aesthetics.
I think that these feelings in many ways influenced my work. This is reflected in the design of the character himself and the color palette.
My character drawing
This is a collective image of sea spirits and fertility, which can be both destructive and dangerous for people, and have creative energy. The seas and oceans have always attracted people and travelers, maybe that's why there are so many legends and fairy tales around the elements of water?
I am not a big fan of tentacles, but their drawing had a meditative effect on me)
