Not gonna lie, I went way off my initial intentions for this piece. For the Coral prompt, I wanted to do one of those cursed pirates from Pirates of the Caribbean movies. I ended up doing some sort of Groot’s ghost with coral pieces all over.

I started with the shading first to see if I can copy the style of other artists where they start with blobs of paint first and then work they way to cleaner lines and finer details. But I couldn’t bridge the paint to the cleaner lines, and instead of correcting the course, I just went with it. And that’s how I ended up with an ethereal coral monster.

I love it when plans don’t go the way they’re supposed to and they end up being better. I’m not sure this is one of those times, though.

Let me know what you think about this weird accident from the depths by leaving a comment below! Also, I shared my Inktober 2020 entries on Instagram. Follow if you fancy.

Thanks for dropping by! Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!
