Interesting take on Longfin! Due to the color scheme, this entry stands out.
A very interesting idea not to show her face on the action shot! With what did you color this?

I'm not all that familiar with these Wavedancers but from what I have seen she looks great.

I used coloured pencils as I am more familiar with them than anything.  Then I used photoshop to smooth out a bit of the graininess hoping to get a bit of a pastel look to the picture ^^

Thank you for enjoying my artwork!

Absolutely love the colors! This turquoise is unique, a strong contrast to her pale, delicate skin and very harmonic with it at the same time. I love the pinup pose - makes her look like a High One - and the calm, slightly sad expression going with it. It suits her so well!
Interesting action shot. She's focussed on an aim we cannot see. The portrait proves her reputation as "ocean sad-eyes" ... makes me imagine she's remembering her lost lifemates. Beautifully done, Branchscamper :-)

@mischievous_valkyrie - Thank you so much!
@Embala - Thank you for putting everything into such wonderful words.  I was trying to portray her very close to what you wrote.  I couldn't find much reference to her, but she seems like such an interesting character!

I agree that the stark minimalist color really works for Longfin. She seems such a haunted character, sad and tragic. I believe it was stated that the Wavedancers were closer in body form to the High Ones than the others (except, of course, the Gliders), so you did a great job on that super long, lean look. Hmmm, have I seen that sexy, pinup pose before somewhere? I also like the action shot where her back is essentially turned toward the viewer; it adds a touch of mystery to her, and emphasizes that sad, almost elusive personality.

Her portrait is like she's about to sing. And the pinup like she's trying to mesmerize or seduce the watcher with a dance. *stays and watches*
