New design for an old oc! She uses watercolor magic!

Character design of a woman (my OC, Kaori) with watercolor and fish motifs. Kaori has short, bright orange hair with a teal under-dye. She wears a dark blue turtleneck, a turquoise kimono top that is loose around the shoulders, a pleated skirt with a stream pattern and a slit, and dark blue shorts. Her earrings and belt are colorful rectangles reminiscent of watercolor paints. Her necklace is a golden goldfish, since her mermaid form is based on a goldfish!

Congrats on 200, Kiwi! And thanks for the art share! I'm Saphi and I draw a lot of girls! Mostly OC, but sometimes fanart too!

Digital illustration of a fair-skinned brunette girl wearing a white dress. Her hair is pinned behind one ear with a white rose. Her earrings are gold hearts with red gems in the middle. She is sitting and holding a bouquet of red roses & white baby's-breath (gypsophila flowers).

Illustration features a treehouse-style café in the woods. It is autumn, and the trees are turning colors and leaves are falling. Two girls sit at a café table. On the left is a girl with bunny ears, she is wearing a red dress and holding a cinnamon spiced latte. On the right is a girl with pointed ears and dragon antlers, she is wearing a green sweater and has a spiced apple cider. They are both happy and smiling! To the right of them are letters on the glass café wall, spelling out "café," but you can only see half the word.

Sketch to final ❤️ The original sketch was done in 2019, but I didn't have the skills to complete it until years later! In the process I changed the character designs and the theme from spring to autumn 🍂

First sketch!
The theme is spring tea. Two girls sit at a café table in front of green fields, blossoming trees, and pastel flowers. The girl on the left has long brown hair and is wearing a pink and white spring dress. The other girl has much longer blue-green hair and is wearing a blue shirt, white shorts, and a half-sleeve cardigan.

Second sketch!
A few years have passed and I have re-sketched the scene with an updated drawing style. The theme is now autumn café, and the scenery behind the café is now autumn-colored trees. The brown-haired girl is now wearing a turtleneck sweater with a red pinafore dress over it. The other girl now has green-tipped blonde hair in two long braids, and she is wearing a green outfit with a long-sleeved cardigan.

Work in progress shot!
Some lighting and shading has been established since the sketch, and shapes are getting refined.

Final illustration!
After several months of intermittently working on the piece, the trees in the mid ground have been repainted, and the entire piece is shaded and polished.
The completed illustration features a treehouse-style café in the woods. It is autumn, and the trees are turning colors and leaves are falling. Two girls sit at a café table. On the left is a girl with brown hair and bunny ears, she is wearing a white turtleneck sweater and red pinafore dress. She is holding a cinnamon spiced latte. On the right is a girl with pointed ears and dragon antlers. She has very long green-tipped blonde hair in twin braids, and she is wearing a green cardigan. She has a spiced apple cider. They are both facing the camera, happy and smiling! To the right of them are letters on the glass café wall, spelling out "café," but you can only see half the word.

Elf from the depths 🔷✨ #art #illustration #oc

Original character design. Shiya is an elf woman with long peacock green hair tied in a ponytail. The tips of her hair are a bright ultramarine, same as the gems in her jewelry. She is wearing a blue dress with a mini cape on top and a long skirt with a high slit on bottom. She has one eye closed, with a hand perched on her chin as she looks toward the camera, though her head is turned away. Her stance emphasizes her exposed leg. Her shadow turns into tendrils of smoke behind her.
