Nymphaea - Kelpie OC

Another picture of Nymphaea here, a lot happier with this one since you can actually see her without having to turn your computer brightness way up. I do like how she came out, however I sort of half-assed the background and it shows. Critique and suggestions are appreciated, especially regarding the cloven hooves as they were a bit experimental I'm sure there are better ways to do them.

It looks really good ! And creepy too

That's a really rad swamp-changeling you've got there XD I do think she's look more complete with a couple of those lily pads in her tail too

[GoGreenGirl 239]

Wow! This is really unique. I love her name and mane.

I like it

[Nameless Knight 1,001]

Really, this drawing is amazing. I don't have many words for visual art in general, but seriously, you got another hoof to meet. Congratulations.

This looks really cool indeed.

If I would have to give any advice, I'd say distribute the plants a bitn more evenly throughout the mane and tail.

Also, maybe tweek the headshape a little to differentiate the whole thing a bit more from Chrysalis.

Yeah, that's one part of this I'm not happy with (excluding the background). The reason is because I took a lot of inspiration from Chrysalis, especially in the face and body style. Unfortunately it just sort of ended up like what said; a swamp changeling. If I redraw her in the future I wan't to work on making her more gaunt and skeletal around the cheeks and eyes and perhaps all-around more feral in appearance. As for the lilypads; I don't really want to do much more with them than how they are. In my opinion I find they look better when concentrated near each other and if I were to add too many clusters it would just get crowded. There are other lakeweeds I can experiment with however.
