Description
August 2011Decided to experiment some more with grayscale digital shading over pencil. Done with Painter this time, which I love more and more
The concept should be pretty obvious...a merman out of the water, slowly disintegrating. Maybe one day I'll get round to writing a story for it...

Even though he is disintegrating he is still hot.

Poor thing
Looks gorgeous though. I do like the effect - I didn't realise you'd used painter until I read the text underneath. : )

I really like the concept of a merman actually not being able to exist out of water. It's that much stronger than the usual wherein they simply suffocate or are ill when on land. And I really, really like how you've done the hair. His forearms seem a little thin, but then... it sort of suits him, too, in a strange way.... I'm not sure now. Either way, very enjoyable piece. Would love to read the story someday.

I agree about the arms, the one in the foreground has been bothering me ever since I scanned it - one of those niggling things that one never seems to have the time to fix >.> I'm so glad you like the concept, with a little more brainstorming the story might just take shape^^

Amazing work. And the fact that he doesn't seem to be in pain or having regrets make it even more interesting. I hope you write that story someday

Don't know why, but this made me think of Zero Kiryu from Vampire Knight when I saw it. Must be the angsty expression.

Heh now you mention it, there *is* a resemblance...maybe they both belong to the same society of Emo Bishonen

Beautiful soft shading and use of subtle light. The effect you created with his form fading away turned out so pretty!
