Water Witch (Lapis Lazuli)

Description

For Mermay.  I started watching Steven Universe a few months back and it quickly became one of my favourite shows  It has a great cast of characters, a surprisingly in-depth amount of lore and a nice balance of comedy, drama and action, all packed into shockingly short 10 minute episodes.  Throughout, it focuses on character interactions, building up on them to deliver an emotional ride, rather than resetting after any given episode.  I highly recommend it!

I've wanted to draw some of the gems (and a few of the humans) for some time now, but haven't really had a chance.  Decided that Mermay was a perfect excuse to draw one of my favourites, the troubled, yet caring Lapis Lazuli.  She seemed to be the perfect fit for a mermaid, given her water-based powers.  I had a lot of fun drawing her, so I hope you enjoy her as well.  Let me know what you think in the comments!

Hi there again! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/>

Good Points:

- I feel that the shading and light are good as always! It gives the dress, the hair, and the tail a lot of depth. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/>

- Also, like the lighting you put on the oceanic background. It makes it feel like actual water. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/>

Improvements/Suggestions:

- I think it would be more lively if you added other marine creatures in the background! (I mean, Lapis looks kind of lonely and there's too much blue! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/let…" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="395" title=":P (Lick)"/>) But make blur out the background creatures so that Lapis would still stand out.

- You could also have some creatures interact with Lapis in a way because mermaids are known to be friendly with the sea creatures. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/>

Hope this helps! ^_^
