Inktober 2025: 12 - Sting

 [Image ID] Watercolour painting of a fair haired, male character dressed in blue and grey [description end]

On the surface this painting doesn’t seem relevant to the prompt, but the subject is a character from the manga and anime ‘Fairy Tail’ who happens to be called ‘Sting’.

I’d been meaning to try and paint a character using watercolour for a long time, and this prompt finally pushed me to actually try it. I wasn’t sure how easy it would be, or how it would come out, but I was pleasantly surprised as I both enjoyed the process and am happy with the final result.
