I love digitally inking!

Really, I do.

Nothing makes me happier than being able to zoom way in and meticulously ink until my heart is content. Anyone who says that digital art is easy can't possible understand the way that having the option to zoom in, use multiple layers, try different things, and constantly undo can make a piece last until the end of time, impossible to stop working on, making every line a kind of swan song in the pursuit of absolute perfection.

This is Melusina, an original character of mine fittingly named after a water goddess. I wanted her to look elfin and otherworldly, like a real creature of the sea and not a pin up with a tail.
