Nautila and an apple (Patreon)

( twitter.com/AssasinMonkey/stat… )

WAIT... who gave her an apple?!

It's  still Mermay somewhere right? Little Nautila, Always happy to see how  many folks like her! She's gotta be my fav OC creation, altho she can be  a bit of a pain to make haha.

Hadn't really made her in this  style yet (or many other characters...) Opens up some other challenges  when drawing her which helps me figure out what design elements require a  more specific description/guide.

One thing that came to  mind is making sure the "tentacles" are never fully red, always either  her off-white or a combination of half white and red. This can help  prevent that giant mess under her face from becoming a big blob of red.
