Artist's Comments

Mermaids painted with oils..original's about 8 1/2 by 11. Model-me and me. The blonde one even looks like me. Xo It's hard for me to achieve any sort of detail with oils. I suppose I just need more mileage.

Once again, beautiful work. I love the shininess of this - the light playing across their tails and hair...and that shell adds great detail ^^ Lovely job on the sky and sea too - you've really given movement to this piece :D

PS: Sorry if this posts multiple times <_< ^^;

:D I like the hair on both of them a lot. ^^ And the tails. They have great highlighting/shading, methinks. They aren't wearing shell bra/bikinis! Finally! -cough-
I like their expressions... And the necklace on the blond-haired mermaid... I don't know, I just like it. ^^
The rock looks very... rocky to me. Although the left part of the rock... -shrug- It looks off for some reason... (that helps -bop me-)
Great picture! I like it ^ -

Thanks! I can't quite imagine how shells would ever be comfortable on one's chest. The idea is kind of horrific, actually. o_o

Thanks!! Yeah, I think it's semi-successful considering I never oil paint anything. Or draw rocks. Or water. Or the sky. Lol..man, what have I been doing with my time?
:iconmidnight-showers:
I agree completely. Torture!! -flee-

Not drawing rocks, water, sky or using oil paint it would appear ;P

Lovely Mermaids. Shells if padded would be ok I'd think...but that's coming from a guy. They look great. ;-)

I like the wraps you've given them.
