DD #1 by the Pacific Ocean.
This is for the Aug Steampunk Challenge.
I am not entirely happy with this. I know what it is..it's too busy... but some things are so glued down I can't take them off. Some elements are definitely dark and steampunky and then other things are too modern or cartoony. Oh well.
I borrowed the steampunk sub and the deep sea diver from the internet..the sub is by a guy named Ramone Bosco I think. I made the mermaid and her orange hair is a nod to my other dd who still, at age 20, loves Disney's Ariel although this isn't supposed to be Ariel. She is highlighted with stickles and her fins with gold..which doesn't show up too well. I tried to make the mermaid steampunky with the gears for a bra and goggles...stuff she might have gotten off that sunken ship. She could have been a little more mysterious and dramatic. The jelly fish and that weird yellow thing in the bottom left are photos I took at the aquarium. That yellow thing is a sea horse...honest...a real one...he's called a leafy dragon. I glimmer misted and inked the edges of the lo..the glimmer mist made drops that look kinda like bubbles.
The photo is matted with cs that I adhered a sand/glue product to that I bought at the expo. Looks so cool irl. Tiny letters are by MM.
