lovely!

the only thing that caught my eye is her hand and the tail... i'm confused as to exactly how sharply the tail is curving now because her fingers seem to go behind the tail, plus where the tip is touching her hip area.. it flattens it out somewhat with those three things.

Prettiest mermaid picture I have seen. Great!

hehe

you will be elite soon!

this is very very nice. i really like how you executed this.

Mermaids seem to be popular in this contest *g* (maybe I should paint one too... no wait, I just can't paint water )

I especialy like how you faded her skin into a fish tail. Looks actually way more realistic this way.

I like the look of this, but I think I would have liked it better if the background was a bit smaller, which would create a better sense of depth. other techniques could have been used to get the depth, but making the background objects smaller is probably the best way of doing it (at least I hope so)

but overall, nicely done.

nice ! but the ship looks plastiky.
love the colours !!!

+4 for me

Nice

I dig it! Especially the fact that she's not your typical green-scales mermaid. I do wish she had a bit more texture though...perhaps some skin folds/wrinkles in the appropriate places. Everything seems to have a lot of texture except for her. Maybe that's good. I've not decided yet.

Nice work though... +8

out standing among the contestants. her left hand could have been little bit more compfortable. but it doesnt hurt the whole image much. come to think of it this is one of the best looking mermaid ive seen. (since ariel..... just kidding)
i really dig the way you made her lower half rather transparent... gradually becoming into ..em.. fish. sexy.

Ken. This is has a classic pin-up feel to it which we really liked. It needs a few improvements, a bit too revealing, but besides that it's a great interpretation of a mermaid in a complimentary environment.
We are going to have to do a couple things to get this ready for a shirt though.
She is a bit too revealed, I don't know if seaweed is the best choice for cover up, we'll have to discuss different options. Also, even though her hair has that great wet look, I think it's a little too 50's bee bonnet looking. We can talk about this in greater detail privately though.

mermaid

Ver nice! Very nicely done (the face reminds me of arwen from LOTR ). The hand sohuld be in front of the tail though, in my opinion. Other than that, very good!
