This is the colored version of my mermaid before. I colored it using Photoshop 3.0, though I wish I had the newest version. =( Anyway, I still love the way it came out and I'm still getting used to using the computer to color drawings.

Why's she not-so-average? :>

I love the colors you've used... you even added bubbles for effect. Knowing me I would have forgotten all about bubbles. x_x

:-) Carlee Weimer replies: "Ok, I *think* you're asking why I said she wasn't the average mermaid, right? Well, I usually think of a mermaid looking more like Ariel/Arial/whatever from the Disney movie, and well, my mermaid isn't like that. She has the gills and webbed fingers and the tail fin's different and her little fin structure on her back, blah blah blah, so yeah. Hehe! I hope that answered your question, lol, anyway, thanks so much! I added the bubbles to *hopefully* show that she was moving pretty quickly and happened to look at the "camera" and smile all at the same time. I'm such a dork, lol, thanks again!"

:-) Carlee Weimer replies: "Well thanks so much! I had a lot of fun drawing her!"

:-) Carlee Weimer replies: "Yay! I'm glad you like her! I'm sure your mermaids will love awesome! Do I use too many exclamation marks? I didn't think so either! ^_~ Well, if you DO draw a mermaid, please please please please let me know! I'm so hyper, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

I love this picture. I love the manga-like style you used for a mermaid, and all those cute bubblies. And the hands' fins, very cool. The colors are good too. And the hairstyle with that. The only thing is her chest, if she put her arms down, it'd look a -little- weird.

Very cute mermaid! But her breasts shouldn't be so… up? With the way she's moving they should be more downish… I don't know how to say it though. Do you get what I mean? It's just with her momentum going forward they should be back more. The only time they should be that up is, maybe, if she's going really fast, tail-fist, down. Aside from that it's really good, I especially like the bubbles.
