Description
Alexandria is a city on the north coast of Egypt, once controlled by the Roman Empire. The ancient part of the city is now underwater, with a few mysteries still left to uncover. Even though the city was named after a dude (Alexander the Great) I thought it to be a fitting theme for a mermaid image.Everyone needs a mermaid in their gallery!

You have created an ethereal mermaid that is to die for! By the way, I read a story as a child about a little girl named Alexandria and loved the name so much that I used it for my second daughter's middle name over 20 years after reading the story

Amazing, makes me think of the mermaids in the 'sunken shrine' in the original Final Fantasy.

She's pretty exotic looking with the unique markings on her upper body and the frilly armfins. She'd look even more exotic with webbing between her fingers to match her armfins.

Agreed! And yours is splendid. The little pieces of hair entwined apart are really cool. I dunno, they just kind of caught my eye

'From the deep, swam a madien. She was the sea herself, a being of beauty and of wonderment. Even in this city of Alexandria, I can only say that she is one of the goddesses.'

Wow o.o That's very graceful and beautiful! A very elegant woman-creature, the hint of ruins that could possibly be the mystical city of Atlantis... Excellent work! ^.^
Personally, I would've made this your DD, but the actual DD was very well-done, too. ^_~

Her fingers are what shocked me. Didn't notice until I started really looking at it. Her facial expression is perfect. She looks shocked that someone's observing her, but she's not threatening. She's gorgeous and the background fits perfectly. Love it.

I really think you were too much creative to choose Alexandria to a Mermaid Theme... Very uncommon... I like exotic things! Congratulations!!! very nice work... but I have a question, you redrew the photo by your hand, or just manipulated the photo? ^^ Kisses!
