yeah... another mermaid. doodled her head and torso, and i got inspired to draw and paint the rest. unfortunately, i discovered how badly my black paint sucks while doing this i think i might have some better stuff now, though. done around june of 2006. originally, the fish were going to be dunkleosteus... but they sort of clashed with the mermaid so i put these fish in there instead. i wish i hadn't put the little one in though, he's kinda distracting

Everything you do has improved so much in the past couple years.

i like how you gave her a thicker body in this one.
one doesn't see thicker-bodied mermaids often...

yeah, i've been experimenting with some thicker body types lately, trying to make my characters look a little less like clones

In this one I loved the butterfly and fishΒ΄s influences combined!

those fish creatures are amazing... and the curvature on all of the butterfly patterns is gorgeous as well.

This is absolutely wonderful! Fins that mimic butterfly wings...what a concept! The details are quite amazing, particularly that you took the time to draw each and every scale. I should also add that it's refreshing to see a piece untouched by Photoshop. Very nice work!

I want those fish to exist.

Simply for the purpose of me having a pond full of them :}

Loverly use of colours.
