Description
So, this is my REALLY LONG delayed part of the art trade I did withI actually uploaded the lineart of the original piece long time ago:
However, I wasn't really happy with that. I think their faces and arms looked odd, and the hair was just not right. Besides, when I started to color it, I discovered including nine characters wasn't a very good choice - it took like a month or so to color half of them x_x
Then, I decided to create a new piece from scratch, keeping the essence and several elements, but fewer characters.
The original concept was this:
"The sirens from the Oddyssey. I'd prefer it if they looked like mermaids, not half-birds... I'd like to see them as deadly beauties."
I think they look more deadly and more beautiful in this one, so I hope I got it right.

If you're using some software to color, change the mode to 'RGB'.
It's probably in 'grayscale' mode right now.

Oh wow!
I LOVE the color scheme, and the sirens/mermaids look FANTASTIC!
I also love how they're 'riding' the waves - very very cool!

I'm glad you like it!
I though the wave-riding thing was fun, I took the idea from Sinbad: The Legend of the Seven Seas - have you seen that movie?

YES! That's what it reminded me of!
