Description This was done for a friend of mine, who brought me my new Wacom (I owe her a lot!) and made keeping in mind a competition at my university...I hope it goes well! I'll find out next friday...

I used some textures (I can't remember where I found them =. and a few references for the sea and the clouds because I suck at backgrounds xD.

Done in PS CS3

Art (c) me

EDIT: I won first place in the illustrations category!!!!!!

Oh, woooow~ Really quite beautiful! The water looks amazing. Andβ€”andβ€”and the lady just looks so pretty, especially her hair and the texture of her fin and the clouds and the rooock! β™₯ *flails*

But! I would suggest to maybe may her bottom a little rounder, more full near the thighs, and to make her fin longer. Right now it's not really proportionate to the length of her torso. =o

thanks! and regarding the critique, did you mean the tail is not proportionate? or the fin? It just seems a little strange that the size of a fin can be calculated using the torso since that part of the mermaid is so varied.

As to her bum...yes you're right, I spent a great while modifying it and I STILL didn't get it quite right xD

Oh, yes sorry! I meant the tail itself should be longer, not the little fin bit at the end.

Haha, don't worry, my dear~ I do that kind of thing all the time.

Aww, it's awesome! She looks so sad ... but also so beautiful. I like her blue fishtale and the long, brown hair. It fits perfect together. I love mermaids. Great work!
