The lineart for this little lady was made during a guest-lecture (which actually were very entertaining). I saved steps during the colouring, and has uploaded whose on another picture in the gallery. ^_~ 50 layers and 5-6 hours of active colouring leads to this. (No, it wasn't done on 5-6 hours. That was the actual time where I was working)

I love this! She's so cute and happy! She's perfect-the only thing i would suggest is making the nipples more of a skin tone-they're kind of bright.

Eeee! I finally figured it out! This Dee/Beren person who simply copies and pastes the same comment onto every nude/semi-nude/not-even-semi-nude-but-showing-a-bit-of-thigh picture is merely jealous! S/He knows s/he will never look as good as the nude/semi-/you-already-read in the picture, so s/he tries to discourage any drawings of it so her/his self-confidence will not plummet to the bottom pits of the deepest abysses of the earth every time s/he merely catches a glimpse of the artwork from brilliant artists like you!

At least, that's my theory at, oh, three in the morning. And I think the entire thing was one big run-on sentence. Must...have...sleep...

At any rate, I really love the picture. Mermaids are one of my favorite fantasy creatures, up there with dragons and phoenixes--or would that be phoenixi? Meh. I especially enjoy the play of the light across her skin. I never really thought about it until now, but I don't think very many mermaid pictures have that included...hmmmm...

:-) Rikke Lindskov ´Gwennafran´ Loft replies: "Thanks. I know a lot of mermaid pictures that does include the water reflections. It often comes down to whether people want to do a background or not. 12 Also it's kind of hard to do with a lot of traditional medias. I know I wouldn't want to try it with markers. XD "

Nah, Tig, I just think they have to much time on there hands. I mean they obviously don’t hate it, they spam every nude, seminude pic that comes around. lol. I really like her smile. It makes me happy.

I won’t mention her nipples because you already know about them. lol.

I actully get a kick out of this Dee/Beren person. Ignorance, in some cases, are funny.

:-) Rikke Lindskov ´Gwennafran´ Loft replies: "Hehe, usually I’d say don’t feed the trolls. But sometimes the trolls really are funny. Anyway, she got what she wanted in the end. Mature warnings that works. 12
I really don’t get the whole "boobies = mature" thing, though. It’s just breasts. :/"

yeah, and it’s great to see the big real picture now2!!! she’s even more beautiful than on the thumnails of the steps2!!! i specially love the water reflections on her body. you also chose very vivid colours which make her look even more cheery2!!! great job, my congrats for your well deserved star2!!!

:-) Rikke Lindskov ´Gwennafran´ Loft replies: "Thanks a lot. 2 Making water reflections can be really annoying, but it’s also one of the things that really can make an underwater picture looks special. So I generally try to get them right. 2"

Love the green hair and whose to say that a mermaid would have the same coloring as humans??? Everything about this picture makes me smile. Great job!!

:-) Rikke Lindskov ´Gwennafran´ Loft replies: "Thanks a lot. 1 I’m glad that you like it soo much. 2"

I get all warm and fuzzy with happiness! Her smile makes me happy! ^^
And ya..who cares about breasts.. there just like mens but with more flesh..lol

:-) Rikke Lindskov ´Gwennafran´ Loft replies: "LOL, tell that to the male population. 12"

:-) Rikke Lindskov ´Gwennafran´ Loft replies: "I didn’t even know that was a name. 12"

love her happy look
and her beautiful breasts are so nicely shaped
funny how a fishgirl can become mildly erotic . .
. . s’pose thats why all the mermaid selkie siren tales got told

:-) Rikke Lindskov ´Gwennafran´ Loft replies: "I guess, yeah. Although i never myself considered this erotic in any way. 12"

Awesome, though the smile does look kind of fake with the eyes like that, maybe it was on purpose, It’s a great picture either way.

:-) Rikke Lindskov ´Gwennafran´ Loft replies: "Nah, not on purpose. I guess I’m just not as good as could be desired. 12"
