I'm sure most of my current viewers have never seen this gal before, because I haven't drawn her in probably ten years. I "wasn't good enough" etc. etc.
Well now I am, so screw me. As in screw the me from ten years ago. Kiss your ass, me.
And just like I'm constantly working on cleaning myself up, poor Miriel who I only ever drew nude in two nasty hardcore porn images in the '00s is getting cleaned up too. Now she's dressed all nice and is a fine upstanding member of society.
In fact, Miriel is the Royal Sage of Freesia. She gets to live in a big-ass library and nobody is allowed to yell at her and you better not interrupt her while she's tending her garden.
Miriel is a Naiad, which in Elae Meltaea is some kind of a fish-dragon-person. In her old design she had horns, but... not so much anymore?? I dunno they just kinda didn't work. Now she's like 90% fish, 10% lizard.
I usually draw a character nude before adding the clothes on top. This combined with my not being sure if Miriel's tail goes under her outfit or out of a gap in the back is why her tail isn't placed with more artistic discretion. Haha, that sentence is probably confusing to read, hehe hoohoo.
