Sea

She was still sleepy when her husband went out to the sea to sail and so they have agreed that he will catch some fish and come back later for her. But, she cannot sleep anymore when he left, and so after eating her breakfast that she decided to put on her bathing clothes and meditate in her floating toy tied in a pole at the harbour while waiting for him.
The colors were taken from a picture and from then have I started forming this figure just using the filter liquify. No sketching beforehand but using a lot of my fingers, right hand and mouse. I don't advice you to do the same if you are not careful with your hand position. The other tools I have used esp for the lines in the bathing suit and the rope are paint and brushes.

Fabulous - she reminds me of an hourglass and the sands slipping through one grain at a time as it gently counts the passing moments.

Great colours and I like the effects you got!
