Description I was planning on doing a similar piece as my recent mermaid pic, with the hair and all but sitting up looking over the sea... I did the background and all, and started on her and everything, but then... I got stuck, I got no where... Now if this is because I had an artisitc blackout or if it is because I am trying to stop smoking I dont know...
Or maybe it happend because my mind wanted to create this piece that came out of it all?!....

Very lovely. I think you still got the Mermaid Effect. That is what I saw even before reading your description. Another beautiful piece.

Great title, great background... the blue shades are perfect. Honestly, I've tried to articulate this idealization for a month. Thanks for sharing.

This looks like a photo.....If it isn't, what reference did you use, I wonder? It looks nice though.

I usually use a reference but this in perticular I didnt. But then again after 4 years of painting bodies almost every day it should give me some skill.
thanks for the comment!

time for an honest comment which is going to be longer than one sentence...

colors: colors are quite nice and really suit the mood of the artwork

quality: resolution is ok, howerver the image is not really sharp. the artwork itselft is of course nicely done, no doubt about that.

style+atmosphere+concept: well, I'll have to be critical. at least in my opinion you have better artworks, for example [link] Somehow this one leaves less impact... of course when I look at other artworks you made, I can easily see that this one belongs to the same author. you have a distinctive style and that is good.




conclusion: if i was to give a grade from 1 to 10 i would give 7. it is a nice artwork anyway. hope to see more soon

You're picture is very pretty. It reminds me of seeing a mermaid in space Like as a star constellation or a nebula cloud that's the impression of a mermaid
