Description Mermie, my evil Merman.
Yeah, I know the name is not evil.. I've been thinkin about names, but well, Mermie is Mermie.

I'm in my kill the ******* scanner mood, because it made most of the water background disappear.. and as Mermie should be my contest entry for ' June contest for dark mermaids or merman, it's quite a sad thing. My camera should be back from service within 3 weeks, so it's not hopeless for me to get a better shot than this scanned image.. Or I'll be begging my sister to take a picture of it before she leaves.
I deliberately didn't do more blood, I don't want Mermie to look gross.. Earlier stages of Mermie can be found in my scraps.
Done with watercolours and a fineliner for the lineart.
All the fish actually exist, even though some look extreme.
I used references found on google for the head, (which you'll never recognise.. ) upper body of Mermie and the fish. Mermie's lower body is based on that of a Sea horse, but I had to make it fatter and longer, because Sea Horses have skinny lower bodies.

FULL VIEW, PLEASE! for the sake of the details that weren't killed.

Comments and criticism are more than welcome and are pretty much appreciated. /yes, I know the hair should be a little different underwater../

Feel free to check out the rest of my gallery if you like Mermie, that's appreciated too.

Nekem is régi kedvencem..

Hát, még mindig érintetlenül áll sajnos az a naplóféle, ill. már hurcoltam magammal, csak é.pp nem sikerült alkotni bele..

És mi a helyzet a tűfilcekkel?

His pale skin and thatblood on his face really make him match the definition of an evil one=3 I love all those 'fishy details' around him

Thank you very much! I just checked out if the original was pale too, but yes.. but I think after the scanning, he got even paler.
I had fun painting the f"fishy details"

I love it! Especially the sea dragons! So cool! They are my favourite genus of the sea horse! Would you mind if I tried to do a piece with sea horses like those? I don't want to offend you by just drawing one up. They are just sooo awesome! ^_^

I wouldn't get offended at all. Why would I?
I think Sea Dragons are very interesting looking creatures and I'm looking forward to seeing your work
I'm glad you like the painting

I just didn't want you to think I was copying your idea, not that I would. It just inspired me! I love sea dragons...I am just surprised at myself for not having drawn one yet....o.0'

I think it looks just fine.
Did you end up darkening up the blue a bit like you had suggested earlier I hope your camera captures the painting in the light that you would prefer it to. *hugs*

No pictures have been taken of him yet, because I won't have my camera for a while, because there's something wrong with it and it's at a service center..
But my sister promised to take a picture of it some time when she comes back.

Yes the pic is quite pale but I still like it YOu really did the water effect really good. I love how it gets darker at the bottom - it looks really realistci. Hair could flow with the water a bit more but it still looks good

ChristianKitsune [2007-06-08 12:05:52 +0000 UTC]

my scanner is the very reason I had to sacrifice traditional media to showcase. =_=

This looks fantastic, Binnus! I really am loving the water beneath him! It almost looks realistic to ocean water. great job.

Binnus In reply to ChristianKitsune [2007-06-08 12:13:22 +0000 UTC]

Once my Camera is back, I'll probably change to photos.. but they almost always turned out too dark..
It's strange with my scanner, because it doesn't always mess things up..

Thank you very much for the compliment, I tried my best with the water..

Damn scanner!

The water is looking really good so far. Maybe you should do some air bubbles too?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Binnus In reply to TVD-Photography [2007-06-08 12:00:15 +0000 UTC]

It wouldn't show anyway.. so no bubbles..
I won't do any more work on the water.. I painted it a bit darker today, but I don't want to sacrifice the original for the sake of a better scanned image..
Thank you for commenting!
