It seems that some commissioners have an affinity for red-heads being turned into mermaids by crazy magical pendants.

Ok ok yes I am pretty sure nobody goes swimming with their flip-flops still on, but he specifically requested that she had just been turned into a mermaid! I wanted the image to lean more towards that instead of just being an Ariel ripoff. I just sent this to him for approval, so I may re-upload this with different colors, or a glowing tail, or whatever he asks to change if anything.

Finally got around to doing ONE of the commissions backed up from FANIME. Three months is way too long to wait for a commission, but I guess it's not as long as a lot of people take to get to things sometimes? T_T /guiltguilt

looks great, the only thing that kinda keeps pulling my attention is how small her left hand is.

That is beautiful work. I didn't think ariel at all when I saw her. The detail of scale on her tail is well done. * no pun intended *

There's alot of lovely details in this picture. I like her hands being in a sort of "akward" position which is a little uncommon. And I really like the hair and scale texture too. Very cute!

This is beau-ti-ful! I must agree with the commissioner (is his name Gordon by any chance? ) that red-heads is the way to go
This is probably the best looking mermaid I've seen here on Sheezy. Bot artisticaly and measured in cuteness Those eyes are just to die for.
Wonderful lineart and coloring. The flip-folops is a great touch.

I really like the inclusion of the flipflops It looks great and the brightness of the colours is what I like the best.

Something about the face gives off a Miyazaki feeling to me, its really nice. Great job with the coloring and I like how you made the scales with shading.
