The third and most recent of my mermaid images. This one was really challenging and often frustrating, but I'm thankful for having done it. I've noticed that I have much more patience on the paintings of done since doing this.

Mermaid 3 is a beautifully painted illustration by ~M0AI, with excellent usage of a muted but still extremely varied color palette. The detail in the piece is wonderful. ( Featured by ^alicexz )

A refreshing work of a somewhat tired theme. Just goes to show, there can never be too many mermaids. I love this.

Oh wow, great stuff! I actually really like the idea of the seashell top piece. I think it looks so handmade and unique, but I really have never seen something like it-- which is what I like the most about it. The fish are really realistic, too. The color palette is so dark and it really sets a calm, mysterious mood that I love. There is a lot of awesome tiny details and parts that looks so crisp and clean, very realistic. The only critique I have is the tail fin, which I wonder if it could be larger. The simple color design, nevertheless, certainly fits this picture so I almost want to take it back.
Overally, it's terribly amazing! C: +fav

Very nice...I love how much this image resembles paintings of the Renaissance. It looks very classic - almost holy. The colors are blend very well. Each tone is highlighted by its complimentary color. I like the fish too - they add a lot to this picture. Great work.
