Description
This painting was done in watercolors and modified in Photoshop. It is the third in my Zodiac series, this one is for Cancer. I was really tempted to call it the Cranken in reference to the Cracken of Roman myth... but then decided only I probably thought that would be humorous, so I settled on the more romantic name.The trend is going to be mermaids for the water signs. I'm planning to do a male and a female of each sign, and quite possibly using the alternate symbols for each sign, for instance Scorpio's negative qualities are supposed to be the scorpion and positive qualities are the eagle... or so I've been told... in any case I see some research in my future.
For reference I used the beautiful and generous mizzd-stock
The image came from her At the Sea Pack 2

I love that tail, her hair and her little friend. This is one of the best mermaids I've seen, bescause of the way you interpreted the idea of mermaid. She looks realistic and no funky exagerated colors........like I might do

I love it! Not the traditional mermaid pose, but that's what's so great about it. The tail frames the head beautifully, and the colours are very fitting. Great Job!

Wow! Being a cancer sign myself, I've seen a lot of different representations of the crab, and I'm often disappointed (since...sorry crabby, but you're not a very romantic animal). But THIS is so beautiful...I love it.

Hehehe, yeah I was not keen on drawing the crabs, but I liked the idea of doing the water signs as mermaids. Hopefully the other signs will turn out so well
