Description

...And here we go... Started working with colors again and made this in Photoshop as a warm-up mostly.

In Hellenic mythology, the Nereids (neer'-ee-eds) (Νηρηΐδες;) are sea nymphs, the fifty daughters of Nereus and Doris. They often accompany Poseidon and are always friendly and helpful towards sailors fighting perilous storms. They are particularly associated with the Aegean Sea, where they dwelt with their father in the depths within a silvery cave.

Made in Photoshop CS2
Time Consumed: Two days.

This is so beautiful, Emanuella. At first, I thought this was some sort of star-nymph because of the glittery pattern in her skin (unless they are just water droplets?), haha. But then I saw the title and I was like, "Oh, yeah. Now I understand." :D


Just two questions; is the little piece of head jewellery some sort of shell? Does the little trident mark on her forehead mean something (the association of Poseidon, perhaps?)?


Gorgeous drawing! I've been looking at your other artwork of the Greeks gods and they are amazing. I can't wait to see more from you. :)
