Usually people put their daily deviation thanks and comments at the bottom... but I'm gonna do that right here. Big thanks to $Moonbeam13 for featuring it and being so considerate to me . If you comment on or fav this, thank you in advance!

Painting is such fun! This was done in around twenty hours (I think) over the course of a week. I used no references, which I am rather proud of. This concept was not carefully planned or slowly executed, unlike many of my other paintings, but I love how it turned out. This is one of those images that I think very well embodies my personal style and creative inclinations. I'd like to point out that this one is heavily inspired by *Sugarock99 , as well.
If you'd like to see the original sketch, it's here: [link]

Anyway, this is done in acrylic paint on canvas, 22x28 inches, and I used a matte medium and a matte varnish, as well. Mediums are like heaven...

© to myself, please don't redistribute it, but feel free to use it personally.

If you have any ideas as to which category this rightfully belongs in, please correct me!

And, as always, comments and critiques are totally sweet.

As a last note, her proportions may appear unrealistic, but I think it's a combination of illusions, as I did an anatomical sketch before I began.

I know I said that was a last note, but I also need to apologize for the grainy photo. Sorry.

Amazing, amazing work. I really love the overall feel to it.
And no refs? That's great, especially because of the fact that the character is underwater. Personally, I have such trouble with underwater lighting.
Very lovely, though.

No refs! Haha. Underwater lighting is really delightful fun. So much more dramatic than light in air.
Thanks!

I agree! It adds such a cool look to it.
If you don't mind my asking, were there any particular ways you learned to do it so well? Usually I just do studies and such, but I was just curious.

I actually didn't any studies for it or anything. I just looked at a bunch of underwater photos and then went "sweet. Let's do it." And I did. Simple haha.
