Description

I finally finished it 😥😭
My oc Laot , "Midst of the Sea" , the personification of the ocean. She found an octopus friend that dons a top hat and a mustache 😂

She is inspired from the Philippines mythology that involves the sea serpent Bakunawa that fell in love with the moon, Bulan. She is the result of such forbidden love.

"I was fishing and then this lady came up from under the sea. Her hair, long and flowy. If you take a closer look at it, you'd be able to see the depths of the ocean. The experience was...surreal." - a fisherman's recount

Figured I'd do an illustration of this lady of mine to test out the new tablet. She is my handler for the Shivalis mainly for Pacifico Moana 174
Still having difficulties with colors ughh OTL
