Description
This is the 2nd panel from the 6th page of the MerDawn story I did for Joe Linsner of his character Dawn (originally published as the 6 page back up story in issue#3 Dawn Return of the Goddess in 2000). At this time he had never done Dawn as a mermaid, and I had always wanted to do her as one. We had known each other for several years beforehand via working for the same publisher, and I had expressed interest in doing Dawn as a mermaid...someday. So it came about that Joe wanted to see her done by me as a mermaid. There is a 7th page, which is like a page 0 to this story, which was published separately in his Dreams of Dawn issue for Wizard.

Dawns' scales are little skulls, so she has SkullScales. Her fins are like the petals of a red rose.

I remember before starting this that I thought...wow, this is a HUGE face...lol. It felt a big responsibility to do this face justice.

The size of the panel is one quarter size of A3. Here I was wanting to capture what I liked about Dawn's face in my own style. I was happy with the result. The tears are falling...in water...,so they are goddess tears, not reliant of reality.

This is the only panel in the 6 page story that had Dawn with the full three tears, crying yet again for her beloved Darrian. (Tears did appear in the "0" page).

This treatment is what I will bring to the new Elf~Fin comic/Graphic Novel I'm working on now with Julie Ditrich.
