Hooooly crap that's cool!

Now that's a mermaid. Very cool.

Again with the colors.. <3

I like the hair ^^

Blame the colors on the fish xD. Thanks.

Oh my, I'm really looking forward to the refined version of this one.
Pretty. :3

Holy Crap...look at that fin/hump D:. Beautiful yes but that fin.

Hence SAILFIN tang. It's called a dorsal fin, look it up.

Don't have to a wise guy about it, I'm aware of that. It looks like a hump from the angle it is.

Well, meh comments will get meh answers.

It is not odd if you know the fish species is all I'm talking about... But of course it could be better, and the fin can go down as well if she so pleases. Something tells me you would have a similar feeling towards a batfish or freshwater angelfish mer.

Or we could just laugh about the comments even and see the humor within. I mean seriously, meh comments get meh answer doesn't always good so well.

For the batfish, depends on which kind of batfish you're referring to. There's more than one "batfish" if I'm understanding things right. For the freshwater angelfish, I seen plenty of those guys in book, videos, and in real life or a angelfish mermaid wouldn't surprise me.

Genus platax. The height of the dorsal and ventral fins are much more extreme than this, and I have a friend with such a mermaid. Freshwater angels also have much taller (though narrower) fins or "humps".

And "holy crap... D:" doesn't across well on any art gallery. I don't know how you expect anything positive to come from a comment like that on someone's work.

Well maybe it because I'm suprised by the fin so "Holy Crap...D:" is like the first thing that come to me. If I said "Holy Crap, it's the ugly" then that would be rude.

Genus platax....will look that up to see what you mean.

Just wanted to clear up something that my last reply didn't. When I saw "meh comments get meh answer doesn't always good so well." comment I meant that sometime commenter and commentee misunderstood the mood and meaning of each others statement. When I made my comment about the fin, I wasn't trying to insult as I was merely joking around. Your reply to it implied that you was annoyed by it for whatever reason, which was not my intentions. Maybe joking about her fin wasn't the best idea around, am I right?

She's gorgeous. I love her hair. Can't wait for the refined version.

This is a finished draft, another pic will be made most likely.

Sorry, that's what I meant.

Mmm, that's a really gorgeous aquatic creation. Just oozing with beauty.

Thank you.

That's BEAUTIFUL! O,O You do such a wonderful job bringing such beautiful fish to life in your art ^^ Can't wait to see your next submission :3 <3

Thanks. :3 Glad you appreciate them.

So... Am I to understand that this is supposed to be the *crappy* version?

A fast and unrefined version, yes.

Wait...so this isn't finished?? o,o

It came out quickly, and to me is unrefined. I liked it enough to post though. :0

Well I can see why! XD Either way..sketch, work in progress or completed masterpiece, your art is amazing ^^

You've GOT to be kidding~ this is awesome.

I usually don't like creatures of the deep. but this one image is exquisite. mad props and cudos for the coloring and shading of it. it turned out wonderfully.

Pales in comparison to the fish, next time I hope to do it justice.

Beautiful! And I love your watermark. :D

Your aquatic creatures are simply wonderful. You treat your subjects with respect verging on reverence and it shows! =)

you have this thing where your unrefined work is petameters beyond anything i can do on my best day, that is awe-inspiring.
