Mermaid Contest Entry

Description

My entry for :iconblairaptor:'s mermaid contest. I love mermaids, so I was pretty excited that they were the theme for the contest ^^ This particular mermaid is based on the colours and patterns of the Mandarinfish, one of the prettiest fish I know of.

This is the first bit of actual art I've been able to do for a while - I've been working pretty hard on both an animation trade I'm super nearly finished with, and a comic project I've been working on and should be uploading here very soon! :)

So, just as a side note, I was sad to hear a couple of days ago that things are going down in the animating community on yt - I don't know exactly what's going on, and I don't really want to know any more than I do - it's none of my business. Youtube has an amazing amateur animating community, and here's to hoping that everyone is doing okay, and not getting caught up in harmful shit - stay safe, guys!

Welp. We all know who's going to win first place XD Wow, this is really fantastic! The scales on the mermaid's tail look simply wonderful, and I love the use of color (especially how the bottom of this piece is dark compared to the bright water closer to the surface). I love this so much, nicely done! :D
