Description
I redid Blue Kiss, very much pleased with this verison. Note to self never do underwater hair going different directions again. Underwater hair = brain death! x_X.Anyhoo this is sort of a scene from a story idea that's been brewing in my head along with five million others it seems. Pirate/ cabin boy/ general sailor dude gets thrown overboard during a storm, gets saved by a merman who takes him to a deserted island and there they bond. K, everyone go "aw" Dunno if I'll write, but it's a nice thought.
For a before / after here's the first verison [link]

Indeed, there is a big "aw"-factor
What I like most about the pic is the feeling of lightness

Well, okay, if you want to take it to yaoi but it seems to me that the merman is giving the human mouth-to-mouth resusitation. Your human pirate looks unconscious. Either way, it makes for a great, dramatic pic. Terrific job!

Personally, the subjects are pretty nice. But, the over all shot and the water are wonderful. The light is my favorite thing, though.

Anyhow, hair does make a brain damage.
It's gorgeous! The tail looks much better transparent as you did it here than on the original..
You working in 3d max or...?
I'm adding this to my favourites!

Wow....stunning! I just drew a picture of a sailor guy and a merman today, myself. The hair on the merman is incredible, and the lighting really makes the piece. A must-fav for me.
