I am starting a new project I hope everyone loves, cause I certainly do. Furmaids =D I know furry mermaids are already a thing, but I wanted to let my creative freedom flow and draw something that wasn't mine or other peoples' characters.

This project is going to include my love for all aquatic things, mixed with my love of drawing and designing anthros. I absolutely adore mermaids, dolphins, fish, water pokemon, all to the point of not even realizing how much I've surrounded myself with aquatic knick knacks. I want this to be a learning project for me. One where I step out of my comfort zone and improve my art in an achievable way. With each piece I will try something new, or work on one of my weak points that I have pointed out to myself, and that friends have helped point out for me. Each piece will have a generic land animal, and a generic sea animal, but I plan to add more flair in the future while still keeping each animal recognizable.

This time, I worked on a wonderful little fox koi. Foxes already have orange, black and white colors, and so do koi fish, so I think it was a nice match. Again I worked on one of my major weaknesses, backgrounds. So many rocks. I shaded rocks for days man. I really wanted the background to be a lot darker than it is, but it didn't contrast the fox koi very well. Soon his pond turned into something more like an aquarium, but I'm still overall happy with it. I also worked on a bit more dynamic of a pose, although the way the tail connects still irks me. But that's okay. Practice makes perfect =D

I hope to be doing more of these in the future. If you have any suggestions for land or aquatic animals, let me know =D Up next I think will be a leopard shark <3

If you would like a commission of your own character as a furmaid, send me a note and we can discuss it =D I am really enjoying this project and I'm so glad that others are wanting their characters turned into mermaids as well ;w;
