Just about done with a piece for a UK client, who asked for a spoooky mermaid. She’s going to reside on the right side of the client’s torso.
This was fun to work on; I hadn’t drawn a mermaid –subject of countless childhood sketches– in ages. I wanted to create something a little different from the countless existing interpretations of the subject, so research was a big part of this process. This piece by Waterhouse and this one by Harry Clarke remain my favorites.
I’m still inspired, so if anyone else wants to commission mermaid art, do.
Very gorgeous. I dig it mightily.
This might be obvious to others, but I am wondering: what is the tube-like thing in her hand?
Thank you! It’s a snorkel, see.
I adoooore this immensely!
when I first went to school and the teacher asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up, I said I wanted to be a mermaid lol they are awesome :D
Wow, this is awesome! Great work.
I think pretty much all the artwork you do is GORGEOUS.
my only input about this is its difficult to see that her tail curls around and she has “normal’ sized hips. Until today I thought her tail was that whole round bubble shape with the end of the tail coming down behind it.
Besides that, beautiful!
What an fantastic spooky mermaid! I can’t stop looking at her. I’m almost tempted to commission.
I was the same way, Zane! When I was young I wanted to be a mermaid. I always pretended I was one when I went swimming.
Here be more inspired. http://i.imgur.com/CTVGW.jpg
