"merman" by Devon Jopling

SciFi/Fantasy Picture 35 out of 49 by Devon Jopling. ←Previous - Next→


	I decided to make a change and draw a male merman instead of a female. I like this one... except for his spear, which I think I should have made longer. Ah well... practice makes perfect I suppose.

5 Aug 2003	Wildfire	Loading... first comment dance I like this merman, but you´re right, the spear should have been longer. Ahh, whatever no one is perfect.
28 Nov 2003	Cynthea Halcyone Cotton	Loading... wow thats a muscular tail! I likes it!! I think he should be coloured completely scale-y....and perhaps in a blue-green matte colour, with the occassional shiney silver scale for fun I like him! Devon Jopling replies: "cool. you wanna color him for me?"
1 Dec 2003	Jennifer Karinn Krenek	Loading... This is a really excellent merman you did, he looks very anatomically correct, and i love the bubbles.
17 Feb 2004	F.A.E.R.I.E	Loading... I really like this picture. it has good expression, even if it is not coloured. this does bring to question, however, can you really draw a female merman? Devon Jopling replies: "Sure, if he had a sex change I guess... "
19 Jun 2004	Claire M.E. Gibson	Loading... He looks sad Devon Jopling replies: "maybe because his spear is so short: he as spear envy."
5 Apr 2006	Turleen	Loading... You really make nice line-work! I've never seen something like that before! Amazing!! Devon Jopling replies: "The line work...? Or the Merman...? All of my line work is done rough in pencil, then inked with technical pens. I've more recently started using a light table to transfer my inks so I don't have to erase all the pencil lines when I'm done."
