Mermay Vault Release bundle
Shimmer Redkelp and Otto
Bubbles Lostlagoon and Palu
Tidepool and Seamoor
This time I used Bubbles Lostlagoon and I used Mostly Polychromos colored pencils to color her up on Kraft Cardstock but I did use some Copic markers first to fill the mostly the background first layers. I drew in the Clam to look like a seat or perhaps her throne. I also drew in the sea kelp.
I did use Copic B02 to fill in the first layer of the background and then I used B05 to color the base layer for the tail. I also used 26 for the base layer of the sand. RV21, E04 and E71 for the first layers of the clam.
I had started coloring her skin and hair with the Polychromos but I stopped to do the Copic coloring areas so I can do my Polychromos coloring on top and that too lots of layers and playing with different color pencils.
When I first saw this stamp I immediately thought of Marie Antoinette with her regal hair, smile and pose. So I gave her the hair color she had before it all turned gray from all of the financial and political issues she had in her court.

Here you can see the Nuvo Drops that I added to
the pearls in her hair. I gave her dimple on
her chin just like Marie Antoinette.
