I love the reflection of the water on her tail!

:-) J. M. Clark replies: "Comment from the Artist: Thank you. The reflection on her tail was one of my favorite parts to work on. "

The tail is beautiful: It is not straight (most of the people who draw mermaids draw them straight)and the way you coloured it in makes it look slimy and realistic

:-) J. M. Clark replies: "Thank you Alice. I love twisting fins, there is something so stylistic about them, no this piece in particular, but I've seen others. I also find I have a hard time making straight fins look natural; so I tend to stick what is simple for me.

Glad you like the sliminess as well2 "

This is great!!I'm kinda new here and would you mind if i ask you what is photoshop?? i don't have a scanner, i didn't put any pics yet and everythings so confusing!!!!!!*gives a shy look*

:-) J. M. Clark replies: "Welcome to the woods and thank you.

Photoshop. Photoshop is a software program made with the intent of photo-manipulation, but you can also do some pretty nifty things to spiff up your artwork.

P.S. Can't wait to see your gallery."

I like this picture I'm going to agree with the other comments I love the way the tail reflects the water.

:-) J. M. Clark replies: "Thank you so very much.
However, I feel as though I can not take full credit for how well the tail turned out. I'm gonna have to give most of the credit to photoshop 8 "

This is gorgeous! She looks better than the original Ariel, in my opinion. Keep up the good work. ^_^

I love her eyes, they look like they are sreaching for something. I also love how it seems like the light refects off her hair. GREAT JOB!
