Description This painting was done in watercolors and modified in Photoshop. It is the third in my Zodiac series, this one is for Cancer. I was really tempted to call it the Cranken in reference to the Cracken of Roman myth... but then decided only I probably thought that would be humorous, so I settled on the more romantic name.

The trend is going to be mermaids for the water signs. I'm planning to do a male and a female of each sign, and quite possibly using the alternate symbols for each sign, for instance Scorpio's negative qualities are supposed to be the scorpion and positive qualities are the eagle... or so I've been told... in any case I see some research in my future.

For reference I used the beautiful and generous mizzd-stock

The image came from her At the Sea Pack 2

hehe, yeah, I've heard that there are two animals for each sign, so I'm going to do a male and female of each sign, probably alternating symbols. So hopefully you can have two pretty cancer pics

Mermaids for the water signs? Yay! I look foward to Scorpio then. (Ja, I'm a Scorpy!) This is very gorgeous! Your watercolours are absolutely amazing! Your artwork definitely has to be professional! I'm really awed when I look at all your work.

Gorgeous - as a Cancer myself, I have to say this is one of the most beautiful representations I have seen yet!

P.s. Sorry I haven't kept up with you since Mega Con - I'm notorious for being all incommunicado. I shall have to harass you for your thoughts on the end of BSG's 3rd season.
