Description
"I left my pelagic brothers and sisters, seeking the still depths of the black ocean deep. Away from the angry rays of the sun I finally found a calm intense enough to quell my uneasy heart. The wise hermetic fish there were as clear as glass- as if yearning to desolve into the sea water itself. I followed their guidance"-----
This painting was featured in the magazine ImagineFX #65! [link]
I wanted to see how a human[oid] would look as a transparent deep sea fish type thing. I really like fish head scales, and used those inplace of a skull. I had no idea how I'd go about doing that but I am very happy how this turned out, for once.
This is actually a shapeshifter person from a new storything/idea I'm thinking of.
Photoshop.

I've set this as my desktop wallpaper. Looking at the mermaid is so soothing to my eyes --- the effect of emerging from the murky depths to face the painter's brush is very convincing.

Awesome idea. I could totally see it down there, waiting for some poor mer-flashlight fish (deep sea creatures are the ridiculous!)...fantastic use of focus and transparency.

This...has got to be one of the neatest, most bizarrely fantastic things I've ever seen you illustrate.
And that's saying a lot, Miss Master of Funky Beasts.
I adore twists on rehashed concepts, and I'll have you know, I've never seen this before. The anatomy is spot on and the transparency...it looks almost photorealistic. Hauntingly so.
Fabulous.

And now, after looking through the rest of your enormous gallery, I see that you've improved a lot since your first stuff. What you've achieved here is lightyears beyond what you were able to do when you first started posting.

The structure and design of it is absolutely gorgeous.

Whoa, VERY cool! Reminiscent of Alexander Tsiaras' work, a little bit, but you had to make your anatomy up!
Great job.

Not kidding, I had a dream about creatures such as this a few months ago. I was some sort of under water explorer that happened to stumble upon a colony of these humanoids. To make a long dream short, they turned out to be the ocean's version of humans. The creatures that decided not to find dry land, to instead evolve under water. This is just too strange.
Amazing Work by the way!

When I was browsing your gallery, I glanced at this and immediately thought "what is THAT?!" Closer inspection demanded favoritism be announced to the world at large. The End.
