Description "La Mer" -- line drawing in ballpoint pen, scanned, then colored in Corel Painter (trad + digital mixed media)

I didn't base my mermaid on any story or character. I just wanted to design and draw a mermaid of my own. Something that was just slightly on an eerie side... definitely beautiful and mysterious, and certainly otherworldly. I'm pretty happy with the colored version. ^^

I was looking for a world's greatest dad keychain on Zazzle.com and i stumbled across your calendars. Absolutely amazing. You are very talented. Any intention of putting your art in an art collection book?

Congratz on the DD! If you don't mind, may I use the scales/skin of this mermaid in the drawing as a reference for a mermaid sketch I'm making? 'Cuz i have no idea how to draw scales, and I think yours are drawn very well

This is a very beautiful picture - both for it's well-drawn and because the idea is lovely. I especially like all the little details, e.g. her scales and the pearls.
