I drew her while camping.  I think I'll probably end up coloring her in photoshop and adding a background from some of the pictures I took while at the lake area... but here it the pencilled version for now.

And yes, she is a little buff for a mermaid...  I guess they can't all be little delicate things.

Enjoy!

Her forehead is kinda elongated and her right butt cheek shriveled but hey! thats how Mythical creatures are supposed to be!

:-) Haley Oatway replies: "Her forehead is intended to be a bit elongated to give a more "elegant" presence.

Thanks for the comment."

I really like how you convey the *blah* bored feeling. The relaxation in the tail and the laxadasical pokng at the water. This does say 1000 words - excellent!

:-) Haley Oatway replies: "lol, wow, thanks dude"

i don’t think she is too buff - after all they have to support themselves and move via stomach muscles through the water, as well as their arms, with no legs to pull/move themselves around with - she looks dead bored, poor her!!!.....she needs an adventure, or a guy to come and keep her busy!! 1

:-) Haley Oatway replies: "lol, I gave her the same expression I get when I’m very bored... which, unfortunately, is a lot."
