The glistening of the scales is superb. Your hand must be dead now. Some work that must have been! Anyway, great pic!

:-) Lily Shu replies: "actually it wasn't so bad. i just applied color one layer at a time so no dead hands.^_~"

She looks very serpentine, and the scales and hair have a lovely metallic sheen to them. I like the fact that her tail curls rather than being the bend-only-where-the-knees-would-normally-be kind of tail. The way you did the hair adds motion to the picture. 'E pluribus unum' means 'One out of many', by the way, not 'one of many'.

:-) Lily Shu replies: "oops.. missed a word.. ^^;;"

6 I counted. ^_^ This is your best one in my opinion. I love it. Coolness. See my mermaids and such sometime. I just love how you did the scales. Keep it up. ^_^

Way Cool! Love how you did the hands! I can never get hands to look right, especially if they're webbed. Superb job!

Very nice! Really like her webbed hands.My wife Lynn says she has a cute anime look. She also told me read that in Japan an old legend says if you eat mermaid flesh you will live forever. So tell your mermaid friends to stay away from the coast of Japan! (now that i think of it, there is that famous brand of tuna that has a mermaid on the label-OH NO!! I just thought it was tuna!)
