As voted by my Monthly Supporters, I drew an image of Cleo from H2O: Just Add Water. The theme for this poll was based on different IPs that helped shaped me like The Clone Wars and Madoka Magica and h2O was one of them that made me more recognize mermaids thanks to it's premiere on TeenNick here in the States, with Cleo being the one I related to the most. I wanted to make sure I did the character justice with my art style as I don't often do real life to anime art pieces. The magic was more just something for her to do and the mako mermaids always make me worried I get it right until it's shaded. The real challenge was the background as I wanted to both capture her underwater and the moon pool with the moon creeping over the abandoned volcano. It's probably my favorite part of the piece. So here's to you H20, being one of the IPs to help mold me into what I am today.

Even though Sophie is getting use to her new mermaid form, there are some aspects of human life that she still enjoys and tries to keep doing. One of those things is showering. At first, it was a losing battle as shhe kept essencially flopping on the floor and unable to get out easily. But as time went on, she began using the shower more to relax than clean, as well as getting the strength to keep herself 'standing'. It's not always perfect, but to get that slice of a part of her life that almost felt impossible to recapture, it gets the job done and helped her refocus on to treat the act of showering.

Add this to the many ideas I so rarely see drawn and wanted to create! I get why, but those people have too much realism in their brains. XD I used Sophie here due to her winning the "Favorite New OC" in the OC Ballot of 2023, it honestly fit a bit thanks to her being more of a Mako Mermaid. Having her lay against the shower felt oddly nice, almost sauna-esk. I love how the shine on her came out and especially how her Mako features turned out! It wasn't an easy feat surprisingly but it was so worth the trial and error.
