Hello everyone, hope you're doing very well. The weather has been warmer lately and I'm loving it, my day wasn't really a busy one but I was able to complete this work I started yesterday. My submission posts for the splinterlands art contest has been coming late for sometime now but I decided to change that this time.
I was in the mood to paint a mermaid so I chose to do a fanart of the Coastal Sentry, she's such a lovely character with a fun pallete and pose.
The role of Coastal Sentries is to guard their people and the sea life around them, often swimming out for weeks on end, tracking a route around their territory.
Most of the time, they will avoid strangers unless they pose a threat, choosing instead to slip away quietly before they are seen.
I really had fun with this one, her staff and tail were my favourite things to paint, I also love the little design attached to her elf ears.
