Description
Unknown Seas.SzekeresThis is an ancient painting of mine. It was one of the first that I completed. I did this at the age of 20. The work was a finished in black and white, with stippling as the inking treatment. I ended up doing an 8 page mermaid story that went along with this artwork, and this then was painted up as the back cover to a self published comic book called "Oblagon".
This self published comic was instrumental in helping myself and co-creators Julie Ditrich and Bruce Love to land our first American published comic work "WaveDancers", as it showed we could see "it" to the finish, which is something that as a publisher you need to see from a new comic creator, as there are so many people that want to create comics but cannot fulfill finishing a singular work.
This is actually my first published work as well. It set the tone for my interest in mermaid art and predates my work on WaveDancers.
The colors were done in dyes with some acrylic touches/details.

My take on Art nouveau ala Alphonse Mucha (for hair design). I love how his style was the styling base for the animated sections of the Disney film Enchanted. I was very excited to see it applied to an animate film... about time I say.

Jeez, I wish I can do this at the age of twenty. I really don`t think i had any significant artwork to date.
I like the stipling and the black somehow art noveau outline of the hair. Wonder who is fishing there...

Thank you. As to who's fishing, that's the mystery...
The hair was fun to create.

Just so beautifull, the textures and everything. People should do more traditional artwork. I just wish it wasn't so fricking expensive.

Thank you. The paper and paints are expensive, but certainly worth it. But then again, computer softwear like photoshop and all the others are not cheap either.

But it sooooo much easier to, eh... get it for "free"
π: 0 β©: 1
tho...officially it's never for free. All the paints I've gotten during my years of painting have all been given to me from work. First Disney cel paints that I used to paint WaveDancers. I was sent Dyes from Warp to use on the series too, but found them not to my liking. Then when at my last job they purchased acrylics for me. I've only really had to buy brushes and watercolor paper. That can be expensive enough.

When I was an intern at Disney Studios in The Netherlands, and all though I did digital colouring, and not actually drew at the studio, I was allowed to get free fineliners, pencils, erasers and fine brushes for free! woo

Wow, this was a great precursor of what wonderful mermaids you were yet to draw! This one's great, and I'm glad you developed your style a bit more to include the membranous fins and fingerwebbing.

Thank you. There is a lot to explore with mermaids.
