SciFi and Fantasy Art: Queen AngelFish Mermaid

So, here's my Queen Angelfish mermaid colored. I thought to myself one day: Most of the mermaids we see around here have normal fish bodies, like trout or carp or some normal kind of fish. Very rarely do we see mermaids based off of real fish! (P.S. You're a true Elfwoodian if you know who rendered a jacknife fish mermaid and who painted a lionfish mermaid!) So, I drew a pic of a queen angelfish mermaid and the colored it in Photoshop using the photo from this website as a reference: http://www.bahamaswildlife.fsnet.co.uk/fish.htm Check it out! They have all kinds of fish on that site that would be so cool to make into mermaids! Try it sometime! The photo I used for the background is taken by my dad and used with permission. His underwater photography site is here: http://www.diving.pinnicle.com/html/photo_gallery.html He's a genius underwater photographer, among other things. ^_^ So I guess this piece is kinda dedicated to him and all my memories of us scuba diving together, identifying different fish along the way. Love you, daddy! Colored in Summer 2005. *weeps over lost detail*

Finally a mermaid who does not look like one of those Disney characters. Nice concept!

Loved the concept of a non usual mermaid....But you need to practice a little bit more...it looks like a drawing, not real as Anon said...but it´s ovious your creativity...only add sopme shades and a little more of detail...how old are you by the way

:-) Elizabeth Bartlett replies: "Well, I made this probably about five years ago or more...So yeah. It is definitely not up to my standards. I really need to update this gallery."
