Yamuraiha The Sea Witch

Watch on DA | Pixiv | Tumblr

I wanted to draw a marine background for a long time, so I thought that Yamuraiha (from Magi) was the perfect victim for this, since she's a water elemental magician.

It was quite funny to make all the corals, I had to look for toons of refferences on google, and I also had to try to make their textures, and I think it didn't came out really bad. I really like how the Elk horns and the brain looking ones came out. The entire piece was done in Sai, excepting the effect on the top and the bubbles, which were drawn and painted in Sai and then modified in Photoshop.

I also tried to make a semi-realistic style for Yamuraiha's face, I think it didn't came out really bad, I'm really happy with the results of this piece.

I'm trying to enter to a Magi fanbook with this piece and the Judal one I did long ago, so wish me luck! 8D

Here I leave you some screenshots of the process, which can be also seen on my Tumblr:

 

Now I'll like to start with another doujinshi project that I had in mind for half a year xDDD!
