Description YAY, internets hooked up, USBs are fixed... and I'm so back in the game. Finally!


Aaah ok, so this is something I've been working on since I had my PC back and no internet to it. I'm pretty happy with it overall; I think the total time spent was around 4-5 hours or so.


Mermaid in Mourning, including a ghost ship and a fantasy, mid-evilish type castle. Yeehaw.



Stock credits include:
for the cliff and waterline.
for some water.
for some water.
for some clouds.
for some water.
for some water.
for the boat.
for the mermaid.
for some sky.
And my own stock & brushes.


The castle and shrubbery behind it I painted in myself, along with most of the birds flying around. The hawk by the mermaid is a brush I edited - I've had that one for years and lost track of where I picked it up from.

In the origional picture of the girl she has a cloth wrapped around her eyes; I pained the vel coming down from it and hanging over her shoulders, sides of her face, arms, etc.

Aaand the boat was origionally just a boat; the pole and tattered sail was also painted in by myself.




Here's hoping you like it and I haven't lost my touch too much.

Constructive comments definitely appreciated!!

LOL. I actually had passing thoughts of putting a pegasus in the sky, but decided against it. Too crowded, too much for the picture.

Thanks much for the compliment though. I did a bunch of non-horse devs before I got back into the horses... I'd like to have a balance, but apparently I just do chunks at a time.


The next one or two to come will center around an equine though.

lo0l. Chunks are good... expecialy in cookies! OwO

Tee hee. Actually the strange thing is I thought that you could have put a pegasus in the sky. But your right it would be to crowded what with the but and all that good stuff. I like the way the water looks to....
