Yes, boring title to a pic I just can't name. It seems sort of symbolic for something. People I’ve showed it to have said most often that she is a weird genie, but a few have called her a mermaid. I don’t know, but I would like to know what you think! (Btw, I call it pointillism cuz I created it after my high school instructor introduced me to that art method and this picture was my first experiment with the idea.)

Very clean and pleasant graphic. It has nice flow, good composition and I find the use of colors pleasing.
Blessings,

I don't know if I would really call this pointalism... it uses dots in some spaces, but not throughout the piece. They do give it a nice touch though... the color use is nice... did you use watercolor? It appears to be too heavy on the left side because of the dark color on the bottom... hm... very interesting though. Don't listen to "homo guy". lol.

i think its a great picture! The colors are wonderfully put together, adn it leaves you in suspense not knowing who she is or exactly what she is...I think its a great picture! Keep up the good work! 1 God Bless

I like the composition of your piece. BTW, my daughter's middle name is Skye (named after my brother).

Hey vanessa!
You have some gorgeous stuff here, but for some reason, this somehow resembles a water elemental meeting with the sky???

Dont ask me exactly what i mean, because i cant really articulate it! Fab work by the way!

I am a graphic communications class and if you did this piece of art work free-style, you have a gift for color and composition. It is a beautiful mermaid surfacing.

Wow, it's been a while since I've zoned out on your work =p Nice job as always. I think I would consider her a water sprite, though I can see why people might think she's a genie with the lamp-looking thing beside her.

Maybe someone's mistaken her for a genie and is trying to capture her in the lamp? She's smart tho, so she's making them think it's working before flipping them off and skittering away with a "Haha! Suckers >_>"

I wouldn't consider this pointalism because it uses lines and dots. Pointalism is just dots. The Mermaid sort of looks like a man because of its hefty figure and the breasts are up really high. The color us is exquisite and overall I think it is a wonderful piece.

Hmm, she looks more like a water dryad to me... one minute you see a figure standing in the shallows, the next minute, just a few bubbles.
But you would swear that the water looks deeper there now... either way, you’re scared to go wading anymore in this paticular lake....
