Was looking at JAW Cooper’s awesome pencils and said, on Twitter, “I wanna draw something awesome. Not sure what. Probably in Col-Erase Carmine Red pencils because I think they are cool.“ My friend suggested “Basilosaurus ogre mermaid,” and rather than going the action pose route I’d ordinarily do, I thought I’d go for stylized - sort of the primal fears of a sapient seal culture, something like that.
