Languid playfulness accompanied by a surprising eagerness and acknowledgment of symbiotic responsibility...it seems to me like s/he'll always be there for the fishes. Lots of clarity in this beautiful revelation...

This is beautiful, Ruby! I like the blurry effect, it totally gives it an underwater atmosphere And I like that you kept the eyes focused, great detail...

Listen,

I don't want to burst your youthful bubble or put a dent into your blissful art-making time, but I wonder what would happen if you started showing your images to galleries.

I don't go around suggesting that lightly to people.

Have you ventured into that side of the art world .yet? I think your age would actually work for you. The coolness of your images is unique and remarkable.

really.

I've thought about it a little but I have no idea how that world works!

I'm always amazed at the lines and flow you manage to achieve.
It's so subtle and slightly blurry. And I love the contrast.

Oh my god I thought this was in ink, too, from the preview I'm LOVING the ghostly swirls... he's like an assassin with goggles, cape a-swirling in the overexposed din

I've been trying to get this consistency with traditional media. So far the closest I can get is with charcoal

What do you use to paint though in digital? You might enjoy Corel Painter since it actually does a pretty good job of imitating real medium
