Description Please reblog here don't upload it to tumblr yourself please. thank you!
Edit: I've updated with more watermarks because i didn't think this would be that popular, but I've found people uploading it on their own tumblr (without crediting me), wallpaper sites, etc. Please don't do this without putting the credits! >_<; Thanks.

I don't usually ask this, but-
Please full-view this!

An idea I've had since maybe around 2010? Although the initial idea was a cat-boy...but I think I prefer the cat : ). recently I've been remembering a lot of old ideas I've had so I'll be going through them xD.

Story completely open to interpretation.

Wow, this is absolutely amazing. I adore the details you've put into the gold fish mermaid especially. The scales on her tail and the fish are simply stunning, and the flow of her hair is gorgeous too. You never cease to amaze. Keep up the great work!

Really intense. Something I feel would have been lost if you'd gone with the tongue idea. Glad you did it this way.
Those eyes are gorgeous.

Thanks! yah, I realized that this was more of the mood I wanted to go for as well . The other one would probably be more fitting if I simply cell-shaded it or made it more cartoony though, I think

yay, i'm glad you noticed! I spent a lot more time on this than I thought I would D:

aphid777 In reply to Qinni [2013-03-24 19:46:53 +0000 UTC]

Of course! Just completely out of curiosity, what's the average amount of time that you spend on each work, anyway? You are just such a prolific artist, yet each work is so well done and detailed! I'm sure speed is from experience, but I know it would take me ages to finish anything.. haha

Qinni In reply to aphid777 [2013-03-25 06:28:13 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I'm not speedy AT ALL. this one, for example, took around two weeks....if counting all the hours together, it might be 30-40 hours? The average time really depends on what I'm drawing, but 2 weeks is probably a good average time....a week to two weeks, depending on how much I maul over it and how concentrated I am on it.
I wish I was quicker D:.

I dunno, my parents are pretty against having cats....well, my mom thinks they're evil or something; I don't think i'll be able to get them until I settle down with my own place ~

;A; thank youu~ you'll do lots better one day, I'm sure of it! >.<~ I found studying oil painting helped me SO DARN MUCH like holy geez, especially because there are so many great old painting masters' art you can study from

Mama--Owl In reply to Qinni [2013-03-24 19:07:51 +0000 UTC]

;o; I hope so. With such inspirational artists all around me here, it keeps me going and makes me want to improve!
Hmm... I am quite the oil painting enthusiast - I'm not really good at it myself, but I should try to study it more when I get oil cleaner for my brushes! c:

Qinni In reply to Mama--Owl [2013-03-24 19:12:14 +0000 UTC]

Actually, I think soap works pretty well for oil-painting too, if you don't have oil cleaner on you .

Mama--Owl In reply to Qinni [2013-03-24 19:16:37 +0000 UTC]

I thought about that - but I was scared that it'd mess up my brushes, haha.
Do you think Dawn would work on it? I know it works well for oil spills.

Qinni In reply to Mama--Owl [2013-03-24 19:20:02 +0000 UTC]

I-I don't know....I just use a store-bought soap xD;...cause oil cleaner's pretty expensive and no one in my class uses them -_-;

Mama--Owl In reply to Qinni [2013-03-24 19:20:53 +0000 UTC]

Haha, I was just curious what brand might work best - I don't want to end up with messed up brushes. xD
I'm nervous to try it. XD
