Description Now watch as the giant red squid uses the red breasted mermaid to lure it's prey! And Fight a shark at the same time! An amazing creature to be sure.
So yeah...I think a giant squid would be dead at that depth but who cares! HA HA!
definately not the greatest..or good at all really, but ...yeah until I have something better to replace it with I can't relaly send it to scraps.
UGH, I MUST BUY TABLET>!~ My hand is going all.." UURRCH" and yeah..using a mouse just sucks. maybe I'm a whiny baby or am just unskilled in general but come on, it can only be better, right?
*note: I suck with the detail. my anemones and coral are just blobs. I am too impatient *sigh*

Ha! Don't make me laugh, any squid worth her flukes could go a thousand times deeper than that, de-geso!


Tsk, tsk, you humans so greatly underestimate the superior capabilities of your soon-to-be squid overlord, de-geso

This drawing is done quite well, and I must commend you on your squidly good job despite your ocean-sized flaw in your inking of squid-kind, de-geso.

Actually I think a giant squid would be ALIVE at that depth and going up would actually kill it.

Now that is a multi-talented squid! We loves the squid, we do.

Beautiful and funny at the same time.

I think that is a hilarious idea! I love the colors and the painterly style. Sometimes less detail is more; I think it works very well!

This is amazing--tons of laughs and color. The title reminds me of Strongbad's 'lady-ing'... an obscure allusion? Perhaps not, but u know...

It's great... and I love the concept of the squid having puppet mermaids for bait. Niiiiice.

Tricksy squid! This is pretty different from your usual stuff, but in a good way.

And I think the coral and such looks fine. Let me guess, you think the school of fish looks like a school of sausages?

I have the same problem with patience as you.. but oh well, practise helps, no? I've found out that working with the picture for several weeks once a day or something is a better option than doing it in one sitting, you know. I still think this is absolutely beautiful though, wonderful coral and texture and oh did I mention that I love octopi. hurrr.

Sarah,
And here I thought the siren merely lured the sailors in to where the ships would crash on the rocks. This is a really nasty pair.
You did a superb job in the juxtaposition of the serene beauty above the surface and the twisted death below.
