xD thank yous! I was drawing this in one of my computer classes, and there was a stage I was drawing her without clothes, And there were a lot of guys standing around watching me, so I had to wait until they left O/////O;;;

Amazing! The hair flows perfectly and her tail is amazing! I love the details of the veins at the end of her tail.

Oh, beautifulness!
Her hair looks so nice, and I'm really admiring all the subtle colors of her tail.

I think it might have been better if the vines were shaded, but that's just me :3

Aw, thanks so much!
I agree with you about the vines, I may go back and shade them sometime, but right now I just wanted to take a break from this drawing.

Holy crap.

That's the first thing I thought, srsly.

This is awesomely awesome



(though her tail seems kind of long, maybe she just has really long legs XD)

Fu Fu Fu... whooooaaa... I can has mermaid??

:3 :3 :3 :3

Seriously though... I can't decide the best part... the coloration is awesome... it reminds me of the rainbow effect on a fish's skin in the sun ( if you've ever seen that before). It's either that, or the fact that generally, mermaid fins are about the length of a girl's legs, and this one is like, twice as long. And it works!

ExplodingIchigo In reply to Alaik [2008-05-15 14:14:22 +0000 UTC]

Aww, thanks!! :3 :3 :3 :3
I was really hoping people would like this one, since I spent so much time on it. I like longer tails on mermaids I guess, that way they look more surreal and not like a girl's torso stuck on a goldfish :3
thanks!! ^^
