Description The creatures on the right are my version of the "sirena", the Philippine mythology equivalent of the mermaid. This has been on my hard drive for quite some time now, but I only had time to polish it a bit today.

The blonde sirena on the far right's based on my close friend Frankie. (=guava )

Enjoy. Hope you guys are having a great weekend.

Funny and cute scene ^_^

I wonder if the sirenas will be very happy about being corrupted by the world of gadgets in the end...

This is too cute! I love the concept, it's absolutely adorable. The colouring and perspective are beautiful as well, and I'm in love with the blue mermaid's expression.

That's a beautiful rendition of the scene of people interacting with mermaids. The feeling of the friendly transaction in the picture is well expressed in colors and character poses & expressions. I especially like the colors used for the sea and the sky, somehow has a dreamy effect for me.

oh this is beautiful. And I couldn't help but laugh at the coconuts. When I went on a family trip to Boracay, we were on a boat much like that one, and there were vendors on surfboards selling those coconuts. I think having those in the picture really makes for a "tourist" feel. hahahah

robotnicc In reply to raven4ever [2008-01-28 05:27:09 +0000 UTC]

It's good that it reminds you of Boracay coz I used Boracay reference pics for the waters and clouds and such. I didn't know about the coconut vendors on sufboards, though. It would've looked cooler had I drawn them on surfboards.

Thanks for dropping by.

This is a very entertaining piece. Wonderful colors, wonderful composition, and the work exudes a kind of "happy filipino" attitude about it. I'd say that this is a hidden genre that you might find worth taking advantage of.

I think I like it so much because of the sunny weather, it's making me wish I lived by a beach where I can barter with mermaidish people.

Yes.

I love the happy, casual, friendly feeling of this. I can almost smell the salt and feel the sun reflecting off the water, and hear the voices raised in friendly bargaining. Beautiful! Makes me want to be there.

Pretty cool image, great rendering as usuaul from you. I love the confused look on the blue haired girl. It can also be kind of creepy. I don't know about the Philippine legends, but in the U.S. sirens or mermaids are often said to seduce (or enchant) sailors and take them away or drown them. I wonder what's next for these three.
