Tag As FavoriteComment		This piece is done about the same time as the merthing facial, I didn't realize how alike they were until I scanned them into the comupter. So I have to say it feels like it's the same creature but the style is mabe a little different this time. The picture might look a little rough since it was painted quite small originally. And I KNOW that there's not a straiht line anywhere ^^; got a little carried away paining and when I redid it the feeling was lost so this is what it becomes for now. jan 2005

I love the use of off color backgrounds. I don't know if you colored it in or used blue paper but it is a great way to add a subtle touch to a piece of work. This sketch is reminiscent of the Tarot. You are very good. I hope to see more from you in the future.

:-) E. Johanna Gustavsson replies: "Thank you so much! I worked on blue paper (the colour of the frame)with coloured pancils. I have a pending ticket with 10 new picks posted about 5 days ago so welcome back in early August or so ^_^"

Lovely colors on this one, definitely reminds me of water. I'm especially impressed by the sensuous design of her tail. The painting does need refining, but the concept and the basic layout are quite good.

:-) E. Johanna Gustavsson replies: "Yes indeed! The original pic I scanned from is about 7 cm tall so all the lines got quite blurry after I scanned it. And then there is this part where I either use a ruler or at least think about making the lines straight. I didn't realize how much the lines on the sides are bending until I scanned it... Thank you for commenting!"

Gorgeous. I love the tail

The transit from fish to human, or vice verse, is very good. You don't see where the transition starts or stop. Even if she's an predator, or maybe just because she is, she looks very lovely. Just like someone that you wanna get close to. 12
