While Claudia and Aaron were traveling the US, they stopped at a costal town focused on fishing. While enjoying the food and culture, they found out a merfolk is destroying and put the town's livelyhood in jepordy. At first, the two were no match for the merfolk's magic and no good at water combat.
Days later, Claudia was trying her best to form her Mermaid form. She finally was able to do so, splashing out of the water in joy, before finally winning against the rouge merfolk.

This felt so ambitious yet both an idea I've had for a while and and for the OC Ballot winner. I knew I wanted Claudia depicted in her merform form as if it was the first time, the background and foreground splash were a struggle. I ended up making the background sort of fisheye'd lens which I think elevated the piece. I also adore the little Aaron in the corner, felt like that was very needed given the lore. Tho I am the most proud of the shading, it came out absolutely gorgeous and really help make this piece so great! There are some elements covered but I feel like the whole piece came together in the end to make something well Magical!
