Been busy with other projects for other folks, but I really needed some ME time and have been craving insatiably the idea of getting back to the painting. Finally I found a little time the other night and put a little more work into it. Still have not tackled the destruction/reconstruction of the tiki into a Moai as suggested by Little Lost Tiki, but it is coming very soon. Mainly what I worked on was trying to get the bubbles and some more of the lighting corrected, for instance I put the coral on the left side into a bit darker shadow so it recedes a bit more into the background. I also added some more texture here and there and defined some of the mermaid's muscles a little more. This one is getting close, the main part that remains is the Moai, and adding more reflections to the bubbles, finishing the mermaid's hands, and a bit of softening on some of the harsher edges. Some close up details:
