oh my god this is Michaelagelo levels of amazing holy shit 0_0 that water distorting the light against the mermaid's body and the shape of the torso and hands, this is just so breathtaking. Well done!

Maybe the best interpretation of those I've seen.

oh man, your brilliant!
I will be happy with mermaids in any way, but you really give a new fresh look to this fairy tale. You did such a great job with the weightlessness of the prince in the water and how gentle she is sorta catching him, it's just so brilliant!!!

This is lovely, this story is rather depressing though...

Stunning visuals. I especially like the contrast coloring of above and under the water.

This is astounding. I just love the tone of the piece, and I think it represents the mood for the story. Great job

This is really incredible. The water feels so.. solid- like an underwater camera. Keep up the lovely work!

Beautiful! The perspective is very nice.

I love how realistic it is that she's desperate to keep at least his head above the surface and that she's obviously struggling to do it but keeps holding on in such a determined way.
Wow! 
Amazing. And I don't think I've seen a version of the little mermaid as black haired - which I like a lot.
Gah - this is so good! Thank you for sharing this!

This is beautiful, vivid, incredibly well-shaded, and delicate... It's so lovely to see something so well done. An instant favorite.

Oh wow, this is lovely! I love the limited colour palette and how you dealt with the underwater lighting!

I love this story! I really like how everything in here is mostly blue

I was actually thinking about this part of the story just yesterday! I wondered how much effort it would take a little mermaid to save the prince. Your painterly style is lovely. The coolness in this makes me feel cool, I can imagine the sounds of the ocean and the feel of the rain! :0

Wow, I can't stop staring at the muscles in her back and the lighting on her ribcage...

I love the use of colour here. The feeling of being underwater and all the beautiful hues of blue. Probably my favorite aspects are her ribs and his hand. I aspire to be as good as you some day, but for now a favourite.

Very pretty! It almost reminds me of some of Pablo Picasso's "Blue-Period" pieces
