Initially, I was working on thumbnails for Kiyohime, a character from a Japanese folk tale who, out of her rage upon not being able to marry a monk whom she falls in love with, transforms into a dragon and kills him. Pretty haunting tale, actually. I started off doing her face and profile, and the painting grew until I eventually came to this. I quite like the design, although she might be a little too mermaid-y... I still need to do thumbnails. Thank goodness I have till friday.
Lesson learned: do not waste time with high detail before you've reached a final design! :P
