Description
Full view, please! Well, I drew this last night, and coloured a little as well, but it was getting late so I had to stop.
But I just finished it then~ Yes she's freaky looking... sorta like a cone head or somethin.. But she's a manatee, and they seriously have no hair... They MAY have fuzz.. But no real hair. So I had to do it.
So shut up~This is for that same anime/manga contest I entered last time.
I didn't win. *sigh* xD Oh well, this time the theme is Manatee, and next time is popcorn, so I'll give popcorn a shot too. I most likely wont win with this, but I like her. 
She was fun.And damn manatees have really stumpy lookin tails... They're really stumpy in general, but I wanted to make her look better than that. x_x Other wise she would have looked like a blob. And I really wanted to show how that old tale where mermaids came about... How the sailors thought a group of manatees were hot women with fish tails.... lol Yeahhhh... They must have been lacking all sorts of vitamins at the time. >>
Here's the contest if any of yas wanted to take a look:

Really nice comconation. I'm digging the head jewels and really the overall design. Great job! ^_^

Wow! I've never really been one for Mermaids, but I really like the look of this one... I guess I've always liked those silly Manatees, though! 
She seems a lot more realistic in design than the normal "human top/fish bottom" Mermaid, as well, but then again I'd say it's thanks to the excellent coloring you've done for this picture... Once again you've outdone yourself! I'd be surprised if this doesn't win the contest...

Thank you Jelly~

I like that you made her hips quite a bit larger than the standard mermaid. Definately a nice touch. -=faves=-
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you. ^_^ I decided to make her hips down quite large, because of the fact that manatees are usually quite chunky.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I really enjoyed that nice touch. Not a lot of artists would have realized or thought about that.

She looks very nice! I love the eyes they look so dreamy.

Maybe.. xD Plus there'll be more entrants coming.
And apparently it's not just about drawing techniques, it's also about how good of an idea it is towards the subject... Bleh. >> I'm not that fantastic at ideas.

Well so far yours is the most original!
I think yours is more about what the people thought they saw, rather than the process of them saying hey look at that thing!
And plus its pretty! ^.^
