I didn't have school today, so I figured I'd do some real media, :X I haven't done anything with markers in over a year {I think} and couldn't find the colors I needed for Tide, so I winged it a bit,
As for the reason I drew this, due to recent events on the Archive, I've sort of not wanted to draw anything recently. However, I owe lots of people art {

} so I figured that perhaps Tide would get me out of my funk {because I wanted to fiddle with her design}. She may have succeeded,
I messed up several things, especially the shading and the...stuff...on Tide's back, ;; I made it look more flame-like than fin-y-fur-like,

; Ah well,

; I did edit one mistake that was really bothering me in Adobe.
What a long, boring, description. Tide is copyright me.
Edit: The white sblotches on the back paw are where I accidently got white-out inside the lines {and marker can't draw over it}. However, that back paw is so deformed and ugly as is, I'm prepared to overlook the white sblotches.
Edit: I also meant to mention that I think I drew her face rather ugly and shapeless. Which is unfortunate.

I've always seen you say you've messed up on certain things on your art, but I haven't been able to notice a thing! It looks perfect to me! I especially love the outlining -- nice job! And the shading is just lovely and how you blended the green and blue together is perfect. I must learn how to do that sort of thing with markers!
