Description
The original drawing, pencil, ink and ink wash, is more than 15 years old and was used in a small press fantasy/science fiction magazine. The editor after all these years tracked me down and mailed it back to me recently. Thought I would take it into Photoshop and see what I could do with it now. So I’m trying new brushes and techniques out on it. so far I’m digging it but I want to knew what you all think.

i think it looks beautiful, but it looks to me as if the light is coming from a different direction on the mer than everything else (more from our right and lower). i love the colors, and i think the use of earth tones on a sea being is original and unexpected. i think the water looks great. the stream of birds is a nice addition to the composition. the clouds look a little solid, and more detail could soften them (if you wanted). overall, i think its a beautiful piece. it's oddly ethereal for something so full of rocks and earth tones.

Your right about the lighting cobaltdream, I can fix that as I move on. Good eye.

Fishboy and birdgirl meeting. Cobaltdream are right about the light, but love the meeting.

I really like how you're handling the rocks. I was thinking that the mergirl should have a fishier coloring/texture. The sky is a bit stark. Maybe a fade from dark to light? I know you're just starting with this, and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished piece.

the top figure looks different from the rest of the painting, more photographic whereas the rest is more canvas-like. From a composition and finished potential point of view, i prefer the top half all by itself... more powerful me thinks.
