SciFi and Fantasy Art The Song of the Sea. by Helen Rich

This is my submission for the Bifrost Water-World project. I've wanted to paint a fish-man for some time, and I've often thought that mermen should be colourful creatures - after all tropical fish can be an amazing variety of colours, so why not mer-folk? This is the largest watercolour painting I've done for years - it was way too big to fit on my scanner - so I had to photograph it, and in the process I've lost most of the detail, especially on the scales. He was a lot of fun to paint.

18 Sep 2005	Sylvia	Loading... Wow! Wow! Wow! This piece is FANTASTIC! It's easily the most original merperson I've seen in just about FOREVER! I LOVE the colours and the unique body shape. My eyes immediately went to the Grecian double-pipes, which are very fitting because they are reminiscient of other kinds of Grecian mythological creatures (Satyrs, for instance). I also like the way the water was drawn.
17 Jan 2006	Just Me	Loading... Hmm...I like the way you've drawn the water, but it doesn't seem rough enough to create that much of a splash on the rock the merman is sitting on. There isn't as much splash on any of the other rocks either...I really like the colors and the head and-hey, it'll just be easier if I said I liked the whole merman, lmao. Great job.
17 Feb 2006	Candice S. 'Jaheira' Brown	Loading... I like the detail of the rocks, the colour of the water and the water splashing against the rock. The scales on the tail look a little odd though.
