And now we have what Ophelia is famous for: drowning. Ophelia drowning (or about to drown) are the most common images of Ophelia, so I wanted to use a different view point and a more dynamic composition to set mine apart.
The sheer garment she's wearing is problematic since I had to make up a lot of the folds. It comes off as more of a stylization of fabric, in my opinion. It's something new and different, though, so that's good. The bubbles were also very hard to render realistically. I like the idea of things underwater, but my executions are never very...watery. Her face isn't quite right, despite working from a photo-reference. I do like her hair, though.
