Mermay Day 25 ๐งโโ๏ธ / Galaxy โจ๐โจ - Process

I went with another suggestion again today, this time from Nani! ๐ฅฐShe suggested exploring different sea creatures so I was inspired to look at reference photos and ultimately decided to paint the majestic betta fish! I think they're super beautiful so I wanted to try incorporating the fishtail design into the mermaid's tail! The tail reminded me of the colours of the galaxy so I played around with a very colourful palette!
In the early stages, I had mini planets and fish sketched in but it got really busy when I tried to paint everything so I had to remove them! I also ended up fixing the anatomy since the first one wasn't as engaging!
I painted it on Procreate then transferred it into Photoshop so I can work with the adjustment layers. I really hope Procreate releases more adjustments layers so I can keep working on there haha
To add refinements I found this brush super useful when painting the mermaid's tail (From Lynn Chen's brush set)
Thank you so much for your support!! I really appreciate it ๐ฅฐ
