Artist's Comments

Hmm...I liked to draw mermaids ever since I watched Disney's "The Little Mermaid" when I was young. :D I used to do the fish tail just like Ariel, then I decided that was too unoriginal and a friend of mine who is very good at art commented once about how unrealistic Ariel's tail is, coz there's no fins ^^;; So I added fins.

I have no reference for sea creatures, so I have no idea how to fill the background and just left it at that. T.T

This isn't done with white color pencils on black paper by the way *swt* I just negative the picture coz I liked the effect better ^^.


Mermaid #1: *at jellyfish* Uwaa~ kirei~!!
Mermaid #2: Deshou~??!
Mermaid #1: Can I touch it? Please?
Mermaid #2: Of course, but be careful~~
Jellyfish: *preening*
Crab: T.T Nobody cares about me...

XDXDXD

nice flow on the pic and you did a very good job with the tail ^_^b
and the mermaids, and the jelly fish *ignores crab* XD;;;

frankly, it's a little difficult to make out some parts with the pic negatived.

I love it! It's going in my faves! I love the way you did mermaid #2's hair and how you put the whole "can i touch it" and stuff to give it more!

My heart will cry,
Please return to me,
Don't say goodbye.
I love you,
And I know you love me too.
