-I'm so happy with this one. I'm starting to get better at backgrounds and blending all my layers. Although, I obviously need to work on my tree painting skills.-
This is an illustration for a fantasy story I am working on. The child is a little boy from a tribal people that live in a swampland. In this image he has encountered a mermaid. They do not speak the same language, but he notices she is basking at the edge of the lagoon and staring at a rare flower that sometimes blooms in the swamplands. So he picks it for her and offers it to her as a gift.

A very nice painting.
I'm curious, how did you managed to pull off that design in a flower?

I did all the coloring in gimp.
For the flower I used a mixture of brushes meant to create feathers, layering them with different colors. And then I used one of the basic brushes that came with gimp that does a glowing orb effect
