Description Mermaid - Mythical Creatures Design Challenge Entry.

About: Maybe this is one of my best works from my gallery, it took me about 3 days to finish it but it worth because this theme caught my fantasy and I liked working on it. I already had a similar mermaid drawing, but I totally remade it... now, as I learned to work better in digital paint, and also had the chance to use it for a Contest.

Please, if you like my design, don't forget to VOTE when it will be open! It would mean really really much to me...

First, thank you for your comment, I really appreciate it!

And... after seeing your entries... just WOW!!! Did you draw 24 hours this month? O.o Amazing stuff, beautiful works... and a looot of entries... They are all great! And you know? The Faun is my fav, more because that creature is closer to me...

Also, you've kept the 5 colors rule, so all I can say is just: Good Luck! I'm sure you'll enter the semi... or even more

You'r welcome You truly have a beautiful piece of art here.
Hummm... Yeah when i was aware of the contest it already passed a few days after it started and as i finished my first entrie in no time i thought "why not make another one?". Aaand it kinda went like that mostly I'm glad you liked the faun. Fauns are very sensitive creatures ^^ Thank you so much for the support i really apreciate it!

Wow! This is awesome. Is there a way you could make this into a print? I find underwater themes fascinating.

Well, there are two ways... the first is somehow impossible > winning the contest and having it as dA t-shirt print available ... the other way is more simple... after the contest is closed and the winners are posted, I'll upload this design as a downloadable png for those who wish to use it

Thank you for the comment, am I glad you like it... and... feel free to vote if you think so

This is pretty nice but you might want to double check and make sure it doesn't violate the 5 color limit. I'd hate to see such a strong piece disqualified because of that.

Yeah... All shadowing and lighting are counted as separet colors... It sucks.

And your picture is very nice too!

So sad, I didn't know that... I thought those aren't separate colors... That's it, I can't make it without shadings... Anyway, thanks for the comment

I can understand you... I also hate what I do if it is not the best I could Anyway, we will see... if they don't consider us keeping the rules, at least we've tried and took part There will be many other design challenges in the future...
