This is such a gorgeous drawing! It's official, I'm a serious fan of your mermaids-- it's like you draw them perfectly. I love that it looks like you've got a fish tail on her, especially with the fin down along her spine.
She looks so serene and graceful, too. Something that I particularly like about this drawing, though, is that she's breaking past the boundaries of the frame behind her, and sort of becoming more of a frame for herself, with the way you positioned the fins and her arms.
I'll add this to one of the things I'd like to color if I get the chance.

As always, your sweet comments mean so much to me. I really enjoyed drawing this one and worked especially hard on making her . . .well, flow. It seems to be my internal thought with mermaids! I would be so flattered if you colored my picture if you get the chance. That would be beyond wonderful. Take care of yourself and best luck with 08!

Ouh yeah! some new art!
She's really pretty, and I just love her attitude!
You could have played with the frame a little more though, to give us the impression she's through it (making the frame bigger so that It won't pass over nor under the queue) ^^
I really like her! Mermaid again huh? Seem to like mermaids lately! The work on her queue is just as good as your usual work on hair, with those beautiful details and the little knot ^^

I think I might play with the frame more. I plan on transferring her to a larger sheet of paper. This basic sketch was to fulfill a request for a mermaid tattoo for a friend. Thanks as always for your kind words and encouragement!

What a tatoo ^_^
Anyway she's really beautiful! Hope you'll have some time for colors too, because there are lots of sketches here ^_^ *sorry, I still have no time for trying to colours your last mermaid, but the will is still here ^^*

Aw, this is really cute! I really like her hands; they're just so well-drawn. And the movement of her tail looks really fluid, just like a mermaid's tail should.

Thanks so much for you comment! I, like most beginning artists, struggle with hands. I also really like the tail, so I'm happy to hear you liked it too! Thanks again!

This is really beautiful (but then, your mermaids are always gorgeous!) I love her thoughtful expression, her pose and the flowing lines of her fins, and the bow at the end of her tail is a lovely touch!

Awe. . .you always make me so happy! I'm really thrilled you like her and the bow. I thougth the bow as a little much, but I've gotten good feedback on it. So THANK YOU!

This is the carefree face and simple body that I've been searching for! I'm so glad you sketch mermaids now...maybe you should do some Paradise Kiss fan art? This is well be a great tattoo!

OH MY GOODNESS,
I just watched Paradise Kiss for the first time on Thursday! I absolutely loved it! How funny you should know!
Acutally this was drawn in mind for a friend's Tat, so I hope she likes it!

The bow is cute, and very original. The arm tattoos make me jealous. I have such trouble coming up with cool patterns like that. Really nice.

I've never had much luck with arm tattoos myself, but it just came out on it's own. Thanks so much.
