Not sure if image quality is that good? But here's the finished harpy, coloured with watercolours! I'm not working with watercolours that much, but I enjoy it, it's just scary to work with it compared to say digital colouring, as you can fuck up and then that's that drawing gone. Anyone got any tips on straightening the paper out? Just scan it? Laminating it? I know my paper's not really meant for getting wet, so I'd be happy to take tips on what to paint on too 😋 Anyway, here you can see that the modern harpy has taken pre-existing traits from the classic harpy, and made it look more humanoid. It's skin has also gotten less orange, and its head more compact, bringing the facial features closer and making it look more humanoid. In broad daylight it looks like an ugly hag at best. However, in a stormy night, and in the eyes of sea drunk and weary sailor, the power of the harpy's charming voice and the illusion of a alluring face is often a bait few can resist..or survive. . #harpy #siren #sirensong #mythology #greekmythology #zeus #islandgigantism #fantasyart #fantasycreature #sciencefantasy #fantasy #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dragonsdogma #creaturedesign #creaturedesigner #worldbuilding #conceptart #sketchbook #sketch #doodle #artistsoninstagram #artistofinstagram #watercolor #watercolour #watercolourpainting #guache #art #speculativeevolution #fantasybird #birb #bird #fantasyzoology
