This is my bizarre Mermaidy-lookin thing. I like color. Done in coloured pencils. (pencils crayons). And i think i may have used a bit of ink - I cant remember I've lost my mind.

U should get more ideas to just " pop" into your head, these are really neat.

Those fins are just awesome! So are their coloring.

Not bizarre--lovely! Are you familiar with the story of Quetzalcoatl, from Aztec mythology? Your "mermaid" puts me more in mind of a feathered serpent than a mermaid.

Hmm I think the colours are quite nice on this one. I think one of your strengths in art is shading and blending colours. Bonne job.

Very impressive, I like how you have stepped away from the traditional mermaid and the eyes are gorgeouse! She does remind me of a winged serpent now it is mentioned, but also of a tropical or flyiing fish. This is excellent coloring and a seriously awesome idea.

I love this! I like how u do thier tales very original. I alsolike the colors u chose 4 her thier really pretty. When i was first looking at ur stuff i just saw the 1st 2 rows of what u did and then i started to go down and found everything else! I am going to be here 4 a while if u have more uniqe pieces like this! Keep up the good work! >12

Interesting. I love the color choice on it, and the position is very well schemed.
