Katherine (Mer Ref)

Instructions

This is my ref project for my mermaid AU Katherine :) she is based off of a blue dragon seaslug! IF YOU WOULD LIKE PERSONALITY/RANDOM INFORMATION Here's the link to her Studio with much more info as well as reference projects :) https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/31427994/ Kat's torso is pale skinned with a slim curved build, pale almost white skin, and soft features. Along her body she sports dark blue and black streaks, patterns similar to the blue dragon slug she is based on. Her hair is long and wavy, pitch black in color with white and dark blue streaks. Her eyes have a dark blue color, darker than her blue markings. Kat has finned ears depicted in almost every image- Look to image Two for the best Her fingertips are black, fading up the lengths of her fingers and returning to white at her palm. (The images i have depict her whole hand, but im working with the resources i have lol) Also on her hands, Kat has webbing between each finger, pale baby blue in color (#F5FEFF). She also has fins along the outsides of her forearms, Dark blue to match her skin patterns fading into white as well as having white streaks. Her tail is black with dark blue markings, sporting multiple sets of fins with the same coloration as her arm fins. For her top, Kat has a cropped black sleeveless top. The threads are interwoven with shells, tiny pearls, cool plants, etc., Best example is in the gacha image. Accessory-wise, she wears a silver chain around her waist adorned with tiny gems, shells, and trinkets she has acquired on adventures. Her necklace is a charcoal-black choker with a shark tooth charm, passed down from her grandmother :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~ In her human form, Kat still holds her slim curved figure and the same blue eyes, but her ears become average human ears. Her skin is a very very pale color; she still sports the same markings and stripes along her torso, legs, arms, and feet where her mer-markings would be. These marks aren't colored though, they are paler than her skin. At a glance they can be shrugged off a stretch marks, sc@rs, or some other marking. Upon a closer look, it's fairly easy to tell that they are all presented in an unnatural pattern for stretch marks/sc. She still has her black finger tips, which she finds random excuses for; she held coal, dipped her fingers in ink, dug in the dirt, etc. However, when she is /really/ trying to hide her mer identity, she will sometimes put on a pair of simple brown gloves. As for her hair, it is exactly the same aside from missing the blue streaks. She still sports the white streaks, however. Clothing-wise, She gains a corset and skirt combo as her 'pants.' Her corset is a simple black with silver lining the edges, nothing too fancy. It covers her stomach, leaving her chest to be covered by her top. As for her skirt, it's black as well with very thin floral patterns in silver woven throughout. It reaches about knee length, and is pretty frilly. (Think calypso from POTC, just shorter) She keeps her chain and necklace, ofc. As for shoes, Kat really dislikes them. However, if it's requested or required, she will throw on a pair of simple boots without /too/ much fuss.
