Butcher strips away the usual neon palette of the source material, opting for a monochromatic approach that emphasizes line and shadow. The illustration focuses on the character's quiet strength, using dense ink to define the wild, rhythmic patterns of her curls. It is a portrait that feels heavy with the power of Neptune, yet remains anchored in the physical world through the artist's attention to grooming and form.

The work uses deep dark shades and light tones to build a sense of volume within the portrait orientation. By layering textures, Butcher creates a dynamic living quality that makes the subject feel present and observant. This is a study of identity that balances the vastness of the sea with the intimacy of a personal routine, rendered through a sharp and confident hand.
