OOf! It's rough going when you come to those art blocks. This finally happened. I might go back to it later but for now I like how it came out. ^^

Photoshop and tablet, six-ish hours.

I adore the colors, her tail, and the spiral around her body. This piece is absolutely wonderful!

:-) Erica Vermette replies: "Thanks! ^^"

Lovely colours. I like the serene pose and facial expression, and the shine on the tail really stands out, as well as the glowing effects swirling around her. The hair has a nice weightlessness to it and I like how dark the background is, emphasizing the depth she's at. The tail looks a little flimsy right at the fin, but that is at heart a personal preference. Very nice picture regardless.

:-) Erica Vermette replies: "Ah! I totally see what you mean with the tail. I'll keep that in mind next time I do a mermaid pic. Thanks for commenting!"

What a fabulous mermaid! I should add her to my mermaid tour.

:-) Erica Vermette replies: "Ooo that would be so cool! Thanks for your comments ^^"

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! The blending of scales and skin are incredible. You are my heroine!!!

The scales on her tail are awesome, they look so livelike. The colors you used are really lovely, and give the picture a particular kind of intensity.

Great use of color and shading, and an excellent job on her tail half. The arms, neck and face look stiff, wooden and awkward to my eye, though. At best you might say that she's *trying* to project serenity, but is actually tense and straining.

Still, good job overall.

Only six hours, that’s great it would take me weeks and it wouldn’t be half as good as yours! I really like the colour scheme you’ve used here. The scales looks really good and realistic to! Love the hair!

This is beautiful! The clarity of the sparkles really highlights the smoothness of this pic
