Description A mermaid and a shipwrecked sailor - which one do you think is in danger here? (have you noticed the gleaming eyes between the rocks?..)

This is my entry for the Mermaid Contest at GrimGloomTale - check it out here!: www.deviantart.com/journal/Mer…
I drew it with pencil and colored it in photoshop.

I love this so much!!!! It looks like the 4th Pirates of the Caribbean movie, On Stranger Tides, about the boy and the mermaid.

Thanks Gytrash! I used a free brush from the ImagineFX magazine for the sky, it is really fun to play with!

Nice job on this. The color scheme is great and I like the sky. I really like the way the water fades into the sky (or vice verce) and the reflections in the water.

This is wonderful - the design is elegant, the line work is strong, and
the colors just understated enough to keep everything flowing.
