Leafy SeaDragon MerQueen
As part of the collection of unusual merfolk I did for MerMay 2019, I decided to do a seahorse. But I'm to extra to do just any seahorse, I decided to do a Leafy SeaDragon. Of course now in November I'm looking at these and realizing 'wait, I know how to make this better!' so get excited, the Leafy SeaDragon MerQueen will be returning in May 2020!
Early development sketches focusing on flow and the most basic composition.
Further development into making her more accurate to real Leafy SeaDragons while also organizing the chaos of leaves.
The queen herself.
Too pretty a face to not have a close-up!
