Journal Feature: Mermaids

Journal Entry: Sun Feb 3, 2008, 11:36 AM
Well, I have a subscription for a short time, so I wanted to put it to good use by doing a journal feature. My original intention was to have an entire feature devoted to mermaids, since I like drawing them so much myself, and I'm always interested in seeing what other people come up with. I was going to get all the featured works from the thumbshare forum. Unfortunately, I didn't get a lot of response from my post there, so...new plan!

To start things off, here are a few works that I found through my thumbshare post that I thought were very deserving of a feature. While some of them don't strictly fall under the "mermaid" category, I liked them so much that I wanted to feature them anyway. So have a look!

"a GiRl wHo LovEs A fISh" by *Astroluc



"little mermaid" by ~V-lock



"Water Drama" by ~Flynn-the-cat



"Apprentice to the Sea Witch" by ~kupi



Next...since I didn't have as many actual mermaids to choose from as I would've liked, I decided to do a little digging on my own. I searched for new mermaid art, and chose some that really stood out. Enjoy!

Great selections, Amy. You might also want to check out *GENZOMAN for his many gorgeous sirens, in and out of the water, such as his stunning "Aicaya."

2D animation will never die. The invention of photography did not kill painting. Why would 3D animation be any different?

We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started, and know the place for the first time.

He really does do some stunning work. I actually had one of his dragons, Ryujin, in my faves already. But I don't recall seeing the mermaids before. Thanks for pointing me towards his work!
