Description

Calypso, enchantress of the sea

Man, it's been ages since I've submitted anything, so finally here's something ^_~. This came out alot rougher than I originally wanted it to be, but I had to just call her finished. I wanted to paint something more realistic for my final portfolio since most of my work is anime inspired. I used to work in more realistic styles a number of years ago. I just used the simple opacity flow brush in photoshop with the use of photo reference for Calypso herself =]. She didn't turn out exactly like the reference (listed below this description) but that was partially intentional so I could make the character my own ^__~. I'm finally able to post this after finalizing it for school. I'm happy with how she came out ^___^. I hope you like her!

This is utterly breath-taking!
I LOVE the face; especially the eyes. And you did wonders with the water reflections on her skin.

Only suggestion I have is to put more detail into her tail fin... and I'm not ever sure what. It just looks like it might need more texture. Still works though.

Absolutely wonderful ^^

Yep, very good except for the tail and the tail like thing coming out of her back. Just needs some more detail

Definitely agree on the tail comments. Otherwise, it's amazing! I love the way the tail details works up the center of her back... A measly 7/7... :|

She's a beauty :)

I agree with ChickenWings, the tail fin needs more detail. On the other hand, the lack of detail makes it look very material/dress-like, which is a very cool effect

+8/8! (wish I could give you more)

oh my god O.O generally i'm not a big fan of these chick paintings, but i gotta say, this is so damn amazing. i absolutely love the rough edges, the screaming colors and the flow of her body, and the expression on her face! i've probably never seen a mermaid-creature painting that's been more enchanting. you can almost see how she would move just by looking at it!
needless to say, top marks

Breathtaking!

The colours and light are amazing, plus I like the way you've got her to rest at the bottom of the sea, so refreshing, most pics with characters in water are normally swimming, so kudos to you . . . .

Top marks.
& have another awesome!

Wow...I have this as my wallpaper on my computer and everyday I stare at it and look at the detail u put into this picture. Everything about it is perfect! I don't agree on the more detail on the tail....I see where the scales come to a point and then the rest is the thin fin like material......I LOVE IT!! (Water subjects are my favoite) I voted for you to get Elite.....u def deserve it!!!
U GO GIRL!!!
