I wanted to try completely integrating two species. I had seen plenty of mermaids, and other half-fish/half-human creatures, but I hadn't recalled ever seeing a half-human/half-seahorse before. So I thought I'd make my own. This was also an attempt at a very intracate background in addition to very detailed characters. Oils on water-color paper.

Check out your Art History books: these 'Tritons' or mer-centaurs have been seen before (see "Triumph of Galatea"......I forget the artist...)
