He hair and skin color is beautiful. The whole scales thing is mind boggling. Big freakin round of applause for Kim for drawing this gorgeous mermaid. One of the prettiest I've ever seen.

The colors of her tail just bring out her skin color. Beautiful work.

Oh i really like it tons. I am black too so I really like it. great work. you should do another one, and make it look very elegant and magical, like her looking out over the water. and choose another pretty color like pink or blue.i Love fantasy pictures and think there should be more multicultural ones.

Ever since i was young i have loved mermaids and being a African American it is not easy to find picture of African mermaids, but this one is one of the best pictures i have ever seen of even mermaids period. thank u so much for making such a wonderful picture. Please e-mail me if u make any more.

2 Sarah 'Wren' Skinner replies: "  I'm glad you like it, but I can't take all the credit. Kim Platt is the original artist and she graciously allowed me to post this after I colored it for her in a tutorial. She has some absolutely amazing African-American fantasy figures. Check out her gallery at http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/loth/k/i/kimberlyplatt/kimberlyplatt.html"

This is an amazing picture, the colours are stunning and so bright. I like her hair, it looks a bit like a mass of snakes... You can really see the movement in the water.
