Description
This painting was done in watercolors and modified in Photoshop. It is the third in my Zodiac series, this one is for Cancer. I was really tempted to call it the Cranken in reference to the Cracken of Roman myth... but then decided only I probably thought that would be humorous, so I settled on the more romantic name.The trend is going to be mermaids for the water signs. I'm planning to do a male and a female of each sign, and quite possibly using the alternate symbols for each sign, for instance Scorpio's negative qualities are supposed to be the scorpion and positive qualities are the eagle... or so I've been told... in any case I see some research in my future.
For reference I used the beautiful and generous mizzd-stock
The image came from her At the Sea Pack 2

Yet another winner for your Zodiac series! I love that you managed to get the CG stars in.
So I gotta ask - any idea which sign we can look forward to next?

Yeah I BARELY fit the stars in this one! hehe I've been pretty happy with them so far too
Next? That's a good question! I'm thinking maybe Virgo... not sure... yeah there is no order to them, I know. *smirk*

I'm the same way - I can never do anything in order. Plus, that makes it more fun for us.
Boy, you should amass all of these in a Zodiac book when you're done. I would definitely buy one - these are all so awesome!!!
