Description
Another piece done at my grandparents when we were there for xmas. I've always loved mermaids and sirens, though I haven't been able to do a finished piece for some time. There are the few pieces in my scraps, and someday, I may get to finishing them
This actually also spawned an idea and this is going the the first of a four piece series, each featuring a creature of myth in a dominant color scheme. As such, I am going to wait until the whole series is done to offer it as a print so I can make sure they are all consistent.Edit: I took off the mature content warning because it's nothing you don't see on the fairies in Fantasia and that is considered safe viewing for all
Media: Prismacolor pencil on pastel paper.

Another lovely mermaid. The texture of her head reminds me of Zoras. (legend of Zelda)

- wow, for some odd reason, I am very drawn to your aquatic girls. Humm.....maybe becouse I am a Cancer? Who know....but It would be awsome if you could draw a punk or cyber goth in your tyle of drawing of girls.
Well, keep ROCKEN

I love intersting looking mermaids such as these. Especially with webbed hands/fins.

I love mermaids and sirens as well, selchie myths are neat too. Great colour choices! And i like the idea for the series, i wish you would do more than four.

Oh, well, I'm sure I'll do more down the road, just for this set, four seemed to be the right number. The other two are going to be a satyre and a gorgon.

The highlights you did makes her look like glass (or see through). It makes a very nice effect

Beautiful work, as always. You know the "firebird" thing from fantasia is my favorite? It's so cool.

Cute! That's all I have to say about that.

sweet! I love how the background is just touched lightly - and the figure is very wispy and bold at the same time. i really like it.

She really is lovely! The tail is especially nice and flowy. Aren't merpeople great to draw? The lack of strictness of legs is grand and fun! > ^-^<

wow, beautiful. i love your pencil work. as for the mature content advisory, i don't think it's necessary, but who knows what others will think?

I really like how this came out! The blue paper works really well and the white hightlights look good on it. Mature content?

This is beautiful. The colors definately caught the water reflecting off of her (? I'm guessing it's not a male).

lol, no, definately female

I'd take it off...but that's me. 
This is adorable! I really like the colors, and the way you used them..it actually makes her looks wet!

Very nice, and I like the no hair part. All that hair would only serve as un-hydrodynamic drag to a sea creature.

very realistic way to look at it. why would they need hair? honestly....

I think the rating might be a little high.. I mean, she's a mermaid, so she's covered in scales, right?
Nice interpretation of the mermaid!

The arc of her body is so graceful. I especially love her fins. Great job!!

I love the many colors you used for her skin. Shimmery...the title was well chosen

this is pretty... i love the lack of hair...what good is hair to anyone underwater anyway? good job!!!

Very, very pretty. I love how you forewent the stereotypical Long Flowing Locks thing and concentrated all that beautiful flow into the base of her tailfin instead.
