CallMePo - Fleur's Second Thought (Patreon)

 This is the colored version of the lineart called "Second Thoughts" that was drawn by CallMePo as a commission to Cypher3au.

 The premise of this one is that Fleur Delacour is having second  thoughts about the choice of swimsuit for the cold Scottish lake.  

 In terms of coloring, this one was both easy as it was hard.  The  initial easy part was coloring Fleur, the dock and the tentacle rising  out of the lake.  The hard part came when I was charged to creating a  background.  At Cypher’s request he asked that the background look  something similar to a Scottish lake.  so, I took my time getting the  surface of the lake right, the hills, the coloring of the hills,  texturizing and so on.  But the initial pallet I chose was green hills  and a blue lake.  Thanks to my colleague, ,  she told me that blue is more appropriate for oceans instead of lakes.   So I changed it to a muddy green type of color.  Thinking I was  finished, I showed it to Cypher and then I found out that I made a bit  of a mistake.  The mistake being that it was supposed to be a winter  scene.  So, I needed to change it to look like it’s in the middle of  winter.  Which would also explain why Fleur’s nipples look hard enough  to cut glass.

But after dealing with the change and adding in a few extra effects, the pic was done.
