Description
"Some people think that water is for the delicate. It is a soft and graceful magic that takes agility of mind, body, and spirit. I like to remind those people that I could drown them in the middle of a desert if I wished. Usually they shut up pretty quick."- Saera Ashlynd, Praetor of the Waves, Magistrate of the College of Magi

I wasn't really loving the original as much as I used to so I made some changes. Thanks to ~mdotts for their suggestion to improve the realism of the water, I think it turned out good!

Love the design of the character. Beautiful, mysterious make up and dress styled on ocean waves but I see some kind of boobies issues.

Yeah I keep meaning to go back and fix that. They are too flat and one is much larger than the other. Maybe that will be a project for tomorrow.

Love! Water is the most destructive force on earth. I carves mountains with glaciers, eats land in liquid form, and suffocates and burns in gas form.
