The spirits of the tidepools

In this digital painting, a young girl sits on the edge of the tidepools at dusk. She wears a black cloak dotted with white spots, and has pale skin with black and white hair. She reaches her hands up into the air in front of her. Golden, glowing spirits are emerging from the tide pools all around her. We see starfish, sea worms, octopi, fish, stingrays, and jellyfish. They swirl up into the air in front of her, summoned by her magic, and spiral through her hands and into the sky. Their light shines on her face and in her eyes. In the distance, the sun has set beneath thick gray clouds.
