Description
This is a completed kiriban for ~Gitona . 'Tis her character as a mer-critter.
I created this with Prismacolor pencils and marker on toned paper.

I'm a sucker for the color purple and the picture is very balanced, but I don't like how, uh, squashed? Bent? The mer-critter looks at the waist. It makes the picture look sort of fragmented in the middle, so the upper part and the lower part look like they're going in different directions. Agh, I don't know if I'm making any sense, sorry.
Ohh, but love those pretty curls and colors, how they sort of melt into one another so naturally.

Thank you!
Yeah, the bend in her waist is kind of wonky. I'll blame that on the fact that I wasn't using any kind of reference to draw the anatomy properly. I've made up for that failing since; this is a fairly old drawing.

! And now I feel silly for not having checked the date of this submission and your progress through your gallery. Sorry. XD
I just peeked for reals into your gallery and felt overwhelmed (agggh so many many many pretty pictures!). You are an incredible artist.

Oho! The ol' pick a page and picture at random approach to gallery-hopping. Yes, that is rather a problem with those of us who have been here for several years, isn't it...?
Thank you!

Thank you. I need to do more mermaids. I used to love mermaids when I was a little girl, but I just don't draw them very often.

Hey, that pose...It looks great! And it would have been good pose for a mermaid who is going to throw a spear or something. But that would have been pretty violent. XD This way it looks peaceful and beautiful.
I love the movement you managed to do on this pic. It looks absolutely wonderful, and natural too! That hair is my favorite part..it's so flowy!

I don't get around to mermaids very often, so this picture was a real treat to draw and color.

Wow, love it. The flow of the picture is excellent, your eye smoothly moves from the tip of her fingers to the tup of her fins. Coloring is awesome as usual, the blues and purples are all so calming and powerful. Excellent placement of highlights and shadows throughout the picture, she seems to be in the light of the heavens! :3
Truely, lovely work.

Gosh - you really managed to retain and give off the feel of water whilst shading it slightly purple!
