Hooray for new illustrations!!!
This was done for my digital Illustration class I took last semester and took me FAR longer than it should have. It was my first time using Photoshop to paint and I didn't have a clue what I was doing. I'm a sucker for traditional materials, and I don't know how I feel about my work digitally yet, but digital is the way things are going so I need to know it! This piece involved alot of research, mainly cuz it was an underwater painting and everything looks different under there. I learned that rocks are tricky to paint freehand and that custom brushes are an AMAZING help in this process. It evolved from a line art sketch I did on the T on my way to school and I decided I liked it enough to use for a project. I chose to make her a freshwater mermaid cuz I felt that your traditional mermaid is getting a little cliche... I loved the idea of a "pondmaid" and this project has made me want to buy some goldfish. Comments~Questions~Criticism I take it all ^_^ |

The hint of gills on her neck and side is also nice.
I would have expected the hair that covers her forehead (and thus not in the braid) to be more free flowing.
All in all, an excellent picture.

I really like this mermaid. Just to name a few things, how her spots continue past her tail, how her fins are curled. (The snail is also a bonus
