Ariella Underwater - DeadTide Commission

It isn't the first time I work on Ariella, the original character created by Gazukull, who was born as a mermaid but then was cursed, lost her tail and become human; but it's always a pleasure working on such beautiful fantasy character.
I've took the opportunity of depicting her on her natural environment, with some aquatic features like the webbed hands, some bright scales, and her red hair floating underwater.
Following this post in a few days will come another one, keep watching because what is coming is a time-lapse video process for this illustration!
