Maid, maiden, obligatory "The Little Mermaid" reference.

Color scheme half-stolen from a Betta fish.
Background mostly done by my sister's friend, who's on DA.
Click here to see her.
She is nifty.
Her men look MANLY. Which is more than I can say for most people here (self included...damn bishis).

Now to pick this thing apart!
um...
ah..
MERMAID. Why do people give them normal human skin colors?
They're fish.
And the fins on the hands are there for a reason. Webbed hands=better swimming. Arm fins=steering.
The silver on the tail is not just bright lighting effects. Her scales are silver in some places. And her skin has some scales, too. She's a fish, after all.
Ear fins are because I love them.



End.

Yay more realistic mermaids!

...Wouldn't it also kinda make sense to have short hair or something, so the long hair doesn't slow them down when swimming away from sharks or something?

Unless they've somehow figured out a way to genetically alter the properties of fishy hair through eons or whatever or evolution...

The hot and cold colors really compliment each other. I like the effect.
