So... this picture started out as a rather bad sketch but after recently redoing it with the pen tool in Photoshop I think it's turned into something I actually like. :) At the time I drew the original sketch of this mermaid I was extremely fed up with mermaids being depicted as bascially women who looked like they had cloth wrapped around their legs. I wanted a mermaid who looked like a human on top but had a totally fish-like lower half - no legs, no knees, no ankles!!! Her headdress, as it were, was inspired by the Reverend Mother Mohiam's costume design from the 6 hour Dune Miniseries from 'Scifi' Channel (as they like to call themselves now, but it's a lie!)

Stylized and vivid. Minimalist virtues that you've shown well here. I was reminded of wings by her hair ... could they help propel her through the water, I wonder? Hmmm.

What a distinct, simple, and stylized picture! I love it!
