"Anemo-maid" by Kelley A. Pierog

SF&F Picture 2 out of 42 by Kelley A. Pierog


	This was inspired by the clown fish AKA an anemone fish... hence the Anemo-maid! Done in acrylics on canvas... and water! You gotta have lots of water!

24 Jun 2004	Margaret Bashaar	Loading... That's really freaky, and yet very cool at the same time. I really like how you painted the water effect and kept more fishy features in your anemo-maid/mermaid than most people do. Kelley A. Pierog replies: "haha I was rather freaked out by it myself, but I was excited too... I love the way it looks. Anyway, the water is done with a chunk of kitchen sponge and tons of water... yes, those are technical terms! Thanks for commenting!"
27 Jun 2004	Brian L. Husted	Loading... This is has to be the fishy-ist mermaid picture I have seen in a long time. It’s a bit unusual, but I like your design for the creature. I also really like the way that you painted the water, it almost seems to shimmer when you look at it. Kelley A. Pierog replies: "It does shimmer! I found a really cheap brand of acrylics and they have 'Iridescent White' I grabbed it by accident, and it doesn't really lighten colors, but it adds a great pearlescent (another made up word) feel. Thanks for all your comments!"
16 Aug 2004	Melissa Acker	Loading... This piece is very interesting. The areas around the fins seem very three-dimensional because of the way you handled the shadows. Nice techinique for handling the water as well.A very unique idea that turned out well.
