This was supposed to be a custom adoptable mermaid, but I had a good idea for a mermaid and used this “base”. It's kind of weird to call a base a rough sketch from which only the pose and proportions are taken, but it's one of those things where it's easier to accept it and call it like everyone else.

As usual - I thought it would take a week, but in the end I haven't been able to finish it since New Year's Eve. I'm definitely making progress though - I've stopped started new works and started finishing unfinished x)
