SciFi and Fantasy Art Sleepy Mermaid by Gayle M. Bird


	I really like my mermaid, although I'm not incredibly happy with her face, nor the way she scanned.

13 May 2001	Young girl	Loading... Hello, I am 13 and am very much an artist with amazing art in galleries. I say you have talent and very much of it, only i was a little disapointed becuase mermaids are lively and vigerous, she looks, well i can't say droopy because she is straight but, it confuses me honestly. I love her hair and the shading, it is done well and clean but depression lurks around me when i study it. I'm sorry if offended you in any way, that is only my opinion.

8 Aug 2001	Gayle M. Bird	Loading... Guys, she's not depressed, she's ASLEEP
29 Aug 2001	NinjaSnail <JHMetzler@aol...com>	Loading... Its a GORGIOUS piccy...Though its kinda looking like she has an itch on her back that she just can't reach. Not wanting to be picky tho...Its amazing
14 Mar 2002	Charlotte P	Loading... um, no. dont like. want to know why, well... as someone said before, it is VERY out of proportion, i would say the eel is better then the mermaid. Sleeping, well, supposed top be ralxed, not rigid. And peaceful comes to mind with that word. im sorry, ill stop. its just not my thing.
10 Nov 2002	Fishgirl	Loading... hey, I like the drawing it is very well drawn and looks like you spend a lot of time on it. THe shading makes it look realistic. I don't think it is too much out of proportion the tail, in my opinion, is supposed to be longer than the upper body, but the upper part of her body is alittle bit scrunched up. it is very beautiful and she does look alseep. I love the tail, it looks great, you did a good job!
30 Apr 2003	Anonymous	Loading... hi! im ZHel and im 19 yrs. of age. I want you to know that I really do like your mermaid. your such a good artist... Keep it up... I really really like mermaids.... Thats my possesion.......... I hope you can do lots of mermaids..... Till next time....
6 Jul 2004	Leigh	Loading... She is truly a mermaid, but I think she looks too stiff. mErmaids are loose and flowing, I think her tail should curve a little like the eel. (which is very very cool. I would love to see more mermaids.
29 Dec 2004	Uniasus	Loading... The mermaid needs a little more movement. The hair though is nice and flowly like it should be under water.
