Description
I am so happy with this painting!Ok, this is Eliazeuya from a side story off the first story I ever started writing. Neither is finished but that's beside the point. After being captured by pirates, Elya makes friends with the captain's daughter, Taese, and is the reason Skye ends up on the ship. [link] Elya granted Taese a reward for helping him escape and she wished for a friend/lover. (My merpeople have magic btw)
Elya is one of my favorite origional characters
Painting in acrilic over inked sketch. Oh yeah, I drew this on St. Patricl's Day and have been wanting to paint it ever since. Finally the last two days I woke up early and did some painting before I had to go to classes
Water reference from here [link]

Love that fanning tail. He's got an interesting color scheme, what exactly is he a hybrid of?

thanks
he's not a specific species - I was thinking shark for his coloring, then the fins happened the way they felt best, and I added spines for a bit of protection, like a lionfish

The tail is my favorite part it really takes up a lot of space and makes the picture fuller. I don't know it that makes any sense be either way I think it does the picture good. He's expression is nice as well.

Haha yeah, it does take up a lot of space - he wouldn't have fit if his tail wasn't curled up. I do like big fins on my merpeople, so thanks! Glad you like it The expression is amusing... it's like 'Elya does modeling' with the shmexy pose and all XD

That is beautiful! The coloring looks great, and the drawing itself is rather elegant!

aw thank you and thanks for the fave
he is rather elegant, and I suppose being a sea creature adds to that tendancy
