I'm still learning digital coloring, so dont judge too harshly :)
It was a good experience because I was forced to experiment to get what I wanted, so I learned quite a bit.

Thanks. I liked the drawing, but the coloring is a little lame. I was just learning digital coloring, so it isnt my best, I should probably re-do it.

Wow, for someone who doesn't think they're all that fleshed out in digital colouring, I think you've done yourself one heck of a piece of art right here O__O;

I'll comment on a few things, though, for 'ya xD I'll agree with the sharpness of the sun-rays in the upper left, which leads me to the mermaid (by the way, love the whole mechanical look there xD). It seems to me that, being in the water, she'd most likely have a lot more.... gleam to her body? A few more highlights here and there. Probably maybe even just some subtlety on the hair? Like the tail, I love how you've done that xD

Aside from that, I have to say my favourite thing about this is the amount of detail you seem to put in to everything, especially the rocks xD I love an artist who can use straight black to shade and make it look so... -proper-, it's amazing.

I'd love to see more digitally coloured pictures from you, dude! >D

Thanks for such detailed comments, I find them very helpful.

I agree that I could have used more highlights, but I just wanted to keep it kind of subtle and not too shinny. I think the hair could use more work though, there is just so much of it :)

I'm glad you like it though and I appreciate that you took the time to comment. Thanks for looking :)

No problem at all! :D

Aah yes, I can understand that :3 The hair is wonderful in itself with the line work, so I don't think it needs TOO much done, maybe? The detail in the lining certainly distracts you from any minor mistakes you think you've made, at least xD

Don't mention it, I had fun commenting with my big comment.. LOL!

Nice seeing all the little details I missed (like the fish around the Alien's foot) the first time around. Fantastic job.
