Description
"Only on the stormy nights, when the air rolls freely around the waves does she appear. She rises like an angel, waves crashing around her, creating a wonderful ocean dress of blue and purples. This woman is a of the Sea. One of only a few who remain - The Protector of all things precious in the waters she rules. Men from other parts, far away travel the seas for endless miles and miles searching for the mysterious woman who protects or haunts the oceans - She is a beauty of nothing you have ever seen and only a few will gaze upon her smile. But be warned fair traveler - Look too deeply in her eyes and you might fall out of your boat!"Find my work on Etsy:

Elements are so awesome to do because you can derive a huge amount of inspiration from them. Would be awesome to see something like that from you.^^
OMG! Captain planet I grew up on that cartoon!!!I still remember the intro song

Love the water in this and the way her hair flows between sea and sky. Very clever stylising - especially the graceful uprising of the wave into her dress! Good stuff!!.

I'm still following up on my promise to have a good slow look through your work! Yes. Those are timeless themes. That would be really good but I love your "seasons" work!

That is actually so beautiful...I am sooo envious of your talent in watercolour 0-0
I looove the way the water, just like in the story, creates her dress and how the stunning swirls all mingle into one very emotive painting.
The colours are so beautiful as well...
Man you rock

Amazing! I love how she blends so well with the water...you can't tell where she starts and the ocean ends. And I love how her sword is barely showing. You did a fantastic job with the water and the clouds! As I asked another artist earlier today, how do you do such detail in watercolor?? Oh and her hair is great!

You're welcome!
Thanks for sharing how you do it! I recently discovered the "not being afraid to make mistakes" myself. However, it wasn't with my own work from my head. It was while doing pictures of favorite cartoon characters for my class last year. So I was "copying" pictures for them, and while normally I'm a perfectionist and don't want to have any mistakes, I just did it and didn't worry if it was EXACTLY the way the reference looked. And that felt good!

My teacher always tells me that even if I make a mistake that I should keep those images for sentimental reasons hehe. Making mistakes are the only way to get better

Amazing movement in the water and sky!!! This is simply gorgeous. I love the way you used color and lines to create the ocean waves. Just beautiful. I can almost see the water and clouds move as the wind blows. Did I mention I really love your work?
