SciFi and Fantasy Art: Mermaid(the second)

Oh, she's pretty, too... the other one looks perhaps more ethereal, this one more fleshy, but I love them both.

Chelsea L. Gordon replies: "I thought it was so interesting to see the way two people could take the same drawing and make it uniquely their own. I loved the way both turned out."

*waves* Wow, I had forgotten all about your picture I colored for you! < *laughs at Audrey S. Totire Jones comment* *bows to all the nice people* What makes a pretty picture really pretty is all the work that went into it before the coloring!

Chelsea L. Gordon replies: "You taught me so much about coloring from looking at your work! It has been a real inspiration. I've started coloring all my own stuff. I have four new pieces I'm about to upload. No where near as good as yours, but they were fun to draw!"

*Awww, how sweet! I am flattered! I am glad to be an ispiration! Something being fun is the real reason behind art I believe, some people would have you thinking that it was to make things look super realistic, but it is more of a journey. ( I think I need to get some more sleep, I feel like I am babbling! < )
Hey, I messed with the background a bit, nothing fancy, but an addition of a gradiant background ( light blue to dark blue) makes the mermaid look less stark against the white, I wish I had thought of this back in '99 when I colored it for you! (OMG has it really been that long?!?!) Anways, I'll stop babbling now, I look forward to the new updates!

I REALLY like this one!!! In fact, now that I think of it, I have drawn the perfect mount for your mermaid, though you will have to be patient to see it, as I have yet to have downloaded it on my site. I call it my Hippocampus biceros, when you finally see it you will know what I am talking about. Any who, great job on all of your art, I like it a lot.

I like it and everything but peoples chests just aren't that big so try shrinking that a little.

Looks like a playboy-mermaid

very nice

Inkers dont get enough credit.It taks great talent to be able to takes the penciling of a drawing and bring "life" to it. Besides that,im sure that a mermaid would be greatly offended if she heard us land dwelers critizing the size of her eyes.

Its so pretty and kool the blues r kool and nice details on the scails

Nice, but shrink the breasts a bit and put like, a starfish over her her nipples for a more realistic look.
