Description
Here we have three mermen who have found instruments on a sunken ship and are testing them out on some rocks.
I've decided that the one on the left is called Lir, the one in the top right is called Dagon, and the one in the lower right is called Patch.Also, I AM working on commissions while I do this stuff. This was three parts done, just wanted to take a break today to finish it off. I was feeling like I really wanted to put another illustration up.

Makes sense though, right? Merfolk are meant to be very musical, so I can totally see them raiding a shipwreck and messing about with any instruments they dig up.

I dunno, but I listened to Captain Kidd by Great Big Sea, Lorelei by The Pogues and Weird Beard by The Mad Caddies a lot while I drew it.

The Pogues ARE awesome!
Great Big Sea do kinda folksy Irish-y/Newfoundland-y music. It's very cute. The Mad Caddies are ska.

Very cool! Definitely the coolest mermen I've ever seen lol! I love the striped on Lir!
Very nice work!

Aww, thank you! I enjoy his stripes too!

wow this is cool.
and i think yes, you're right about the instruments needing to look more worn. i like Lefty as a blonde, but i think you should leave Patches' hair blue. it works with the color scheme on the rest of his body.
i also love Righty's rasta-hair! he looks awesome!

Thanks! Thing is, I was thinking he's kind of too blue. I've finished editing now - what do you think?

it looks great! Lir is a wonderful blonde, and Patch works the brunette well, despite his blueness! i like the worn instruments and and Dagon's new patterns.
did you change the color scheme at all? i have a bad memory in areas like that, but i wanna say it looks a little different over all... that just me?
but it looks wonderful! the final touches work out great! keep up the wonderful work! ^_^
XOXOXO

I love mermen... *.* XD
I like the idea of making the left a blonde. I think it would better suite his color scheme. I'm not sure if brunette would work on the patchwork one..since he is blue...but it's your call. :3

Cool! What d'you think of the edits?

I like it much better..but patchwork's hair throws me off a bit. I think it's because the other two's hair color tends to match their skin/fin colors.

Changed it again and took that into account - still throwing you off?
