SF&F Picture 1 out of 77 by Tallulah 'Darkhorse' Cunningham.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Two realms apart

This is the third incarnation of this picture, the original and the pencil sketch of this can be found at my deviant gallery (melanippos). I've seen at least three water-earth/air meeting type pictures up and they always seem to consist of a mermaid and either an angel or a centaur. I decided to be a little different; angels and centaurs at least have arms with which to embrace. Alas for the sphynx, she cannot dive beneath the waves nor fold her beloved in her arms for her wings would get wet and drown her and her cruel claws are too sharp. Fish and Felines, a double attraction ^_- I have an old animation storyboard for these two I occassionaly putter with but it's still way on the back burner.

19 Sep 2002	Sarah Cloutier	Loading... I love the guy's ears! The other stuff is really great - beautiful reflection/shading on the water, btw - but I love the guy's ears!
22 Jan 2003	Molly (Syra) Cramer	Loading... Very nice, I love their sad expressions and the way they reach out to each other. As others have said before, it's a refreshing new look on the idea. And yes, I love the way you've done the hair on the merman(?)
23 Sep 2003	Anonymous	Loading... Obviously, unless you've suffered dilusionary experiences .. the mermaid is female. And the artist has talent ... 8>) This was back when I had the old version up. Comments after here are for the newer, more masculine merman ^_^; Thank the gods that practice improves one!
27 Jun 2004	Lisa	Loading... Pretty Impressive!!!
26 Oct 2005	Carly Menasco	Loading... Awww, this one's my favorite of yours. I've rarely seen the male character in these types of scenarios be the mer-person. Kudos for your originality. The sphinx is beautiful.
