| 11 Dec 2004 |  Amanda McQuern |  Loading...Wow! O.o manda had a brain fart. Too much talk about the tail... lol I was just thinkin, "man if u remove that nifty floating gem that chicks tails probably twice the size of her." I think it's pretty, and you only have to add the background if u desire to.  Anna Leigh Symonds replies: "Yeah, she does have a big tail. But I like mermaids with big tails, not the little tiny ones." | |
| 1 Jan 2005 | Star Quartz | Loading... The vivid green of the vines, the way the hair flows upward with the current of the water, the shading on the orbs are all spectacular. I think you are right about the background needing something. I would like to see how it would look if the sea was shaded varying hues of bluish-green.  Anna Leigh Symonds replies: "I really really like the hair too! Thank you!" | |
| 3 Jan 2005 |  Kai Christopher Reichwaldt | Loading... I really like this picture as a whole... As you say, there should be some sort of background, but nothing too distracting either I think, since it might just take away from it more than completing it. I like the tail as it is, too. Anna Leigh Symonds replies: "Yes I agree, a background that is not to over powering. Thanx for the kind words " | |
| 4 Jan 2005 | Christi-Anna | Loading... Loving the pose! captured with much spiffy-ness! hair has gorgeous movement! great colors!  Anna Leigh Symonds replies: "Yeah, the hair is one of my favorite things about this picture." | |
| 22 Jun 2005 |  Sarah G. A. Herendeen | Loading... Oh, wow! I love this! The shading is awesome, too; better then I could ever do, thanks to my lack of patience...  Anna Leigh Symonds replies: " Haha! You have lack of patients too ^_^ Yay for being a lazy artist! Glad you like it" | |
| 24 Jun 2005 | Lynn Hansen pruejasminecorie21@hot...com> | Loading... I love mermaids and I wish I was one.  Anna Leigh Symonds replies: "I would freakin' love to be a mermaid!! But I suppose being a human isn't all that bad." | |
| 29 Jun 2005 |  Marloes van Drie | Loading... It doesn't need a background on perpess. The colours are very bright and it gives the picture a 'modern romantic' flow. Your colouringwork is awesome, and if you'll make a background some day, it could be that the bright colours on the background lead the attention away form the lovely concepts you made here. I would leave the picture just as it is right now. Simple but very nice!!  Anna Leigh Symonds replies: "Well...I'm sorry to say this, but my baby sister got a hold of the picture. Everything got scribbled on. There was even a half finished background on it too Thank you for the nice words though! " | |
| 31 Aug 2005 |  Francine Harris | Loading... this one is my favorite, I love how you coloured the bubble and the mermaid! I think you should colour some of Your other drawings  Anna Leigh Symonds replies: "Thank you for commenting! Yeah, I agree that I need more color in my gallery. Which ones would you suggest I color?" | |
| 13 Jan 2006 |  Rachel Lawlor | Loading... Oh, I love this one! The coloring is fantastic. And her position is so great! Anna Leigh Symonds replies: "Thank you Rachel!" | |
| 17 Jan 2009 |  Juliet P Lindquist | Loading... This is cool, I love the color you’ve used. | |
