A picture of some mermaids that I did for a friend. Not much to say about this, really. Everyone thinks that the mermaid in the foreground is a man, but she isn't.

It looks really grainy to me, and I'm not sure if that's the scan or whether it was always like that. No matter.

Done mostly with mechanical pencils, with softer pencils thrown in when I could find them.

(graphite pencil, 2004)

whoever said the foreground mermaid looked buff is obviously very skinny, shes not muscular at all, lean if anything. Nice job with the proportions of them both 10

It's nice to see a female on elfwood every so often without exaggerated perportions.

Yeah, its definitely a girl.
A guy's back would look a lot different. I like their weapons, and her hair!

Beautiful drawing. I love the composition, playing with the pierced rocks. It gives me the desire to draw more mermaids. Great work.

Wow... it's beautiful! I saw she wasn't a man too! Woot! Really lovely picture, very natural looking and it's not yet another "a meremaid on a rock" picture. This shows they have lives too and do something but sunbathing! Very nice shading and composition!
