Hah. You'd be surprised how many people get offended by artists who draw topless mermaids. The ocean doesn't have bras you know...

Lol, yep. Did you want to make her topless? If so, just make an uncensored version!

No, but I've had others I did in the past that got a lot of nasty comments. Peoplea re weird.

Really? You wouldn't expect comments like that on a topless fictional creature...but you know they don't matter, right? You're the artist, and you can draw whatever you like! No one can tell you what to do!

Yup, we can draw what we want. It's people going out of their way to look at things they don't like and then complain that is weird.

This is very nice. I was wondering if I would be able to use this picture in a book a friend and I am publishing about the ocean. Your work will be credited to you with your name in the book by the picture. It's a coffee table book, exibiting many pictures of the ocean as well as any writing (ie. quotes, facts, short stories, poems, lyrics). Please let me know, or if you know anyone who would like to submitt something into the book.

I have to decline because I've been in too many unpaid book projects.

Good luck with the book!

Oooooh, that's so pretty! I just drew my first mermaid, and I have to say drawing water with copics isn't fun. But you do an INCREDIBLE job with water colors! It looks so real and fluid

Those waves do look incredible ! I wonder how you did those ? Is it white paint, or did you leave all the white spots open ?

MeredithDillman In reply to TortuousThrenody [2008-05-26 03:07:16 +0000 UTC]

I used masking on the brighter white areas. some of the tiny lines are white paint.

I LOVE this picture! At its core, it's a very simplistic pose and drawing, but the waves and the watercolor give it so much energy! Good luck with your auction.
