River Nymph - Underwater art

For this week's Splinterlands contest, I started out drawing ice pixie but I drew the eyes too well and didn't want to add the gaussian blur.

So, I switched to River Nymph. Her lore says that she stays underwater so I created a transparent mask with bubbles and foam.

This was drawn in Krita using my Wacom tab.

I began with a basic outline

Then did various iterations of colorize mask

I tend to create compoenents separately. Esp hair which is time consumin..

began with shading

Drew eyes and er half eyebrows :P (covered in bangs)

Made a mask for underwater and used the color blending mode. The brushes used are the texture ones in Krita. Those are the floating eyebrows :P
