[TheSoracle]

What is there to say other than WOW.

That is incredible. You did a great job with the water and the reflections.

[croesbrun]

verry nice scene you have here, i love your composition, and its a nice idea,
verry nice rendering and use of collors keep it up :)

[tlaine]

Beautiful colors! I especially love the way you painted the water and the light coming in and the lighting on the mermaid and her skin tone, really is very beautiful. :thumbsup:

[Sourgrapes]

Here is a bit more of a close up on the face.

[ThePhotographer]

Nice work, I like it a lot !

This is a very pleasing picture and I enjoy looking at the colors and composition. But the only thing that bothers me is his hand for some reason seems like he is pressing against an invisible glass and the bottom right side of the picture where his chest is doesn't seemed finished. But im almost scared to critique because this is an awsome piece. keep up the good work!

[jramauri]

Beautiful colors and lighting. I liked vey much! :thumbsup: The only thing that I didn't like was her hand. The thumb is out of place, too high. But is a great piece, congratulations.

[SirNeo]

what a light !!! so beautiful colors, nice work !!!

[Darthiir]

I really like composition and light effects. This picture has 'IT' for me anyways :) 4 stars!

[Stained]

Wow. The setting is very beautiful, especially the lightning and choice of colour. Eagerly awaits the close-ups!

[R3desiGN]

Great impression of being underwater. There is only one thing that bothers me a little and that would be her breasts (I assume it is a female or at least that's what her face tells me) which are a bit too small. OK I know she is young but just one size bigger... :P
Anyway it's a wondeful pic so I instantly saved it on my HDD. :)

[Sourgrapes]

Wow thxs for the positive feedback and critics! I'm eating a bowl of Lucky Charms as I'm reading threw all the comments and I just wanted to say thxs for posting

Thank-you. You were like a ninja poster with the speed you posted a reply to this thread, I didn't even have time to get my close up posted. I love it

Tlaine: Beautiful colors! I especially love the way you painted the water and the light coming in and the lighting on the mermaid and her skin tone, really is very beautiful. :thumbsup:
Glad you enjoyed it. Wow your another fast poster, good job. I'm in need of posting lessons to increase my speed (laughs)

ThePhotographer Nice work, I like it a lot !

I went back and looked at it for some time, the hand needs some work. The bottom of the screen I wanted to leave vague because I wanted to avoid the "nude" issue. I was hoping that it would be more of a blured shape to give the impression of her being nude without going into detail, but it was brought up again in a later post so I'll need to address it some way.
jramauri Beautiful colors and lighting. I liked vey much! :thumbsup: The only thing that I didn't like was her hand. The thumb is out of place, too high. But is a great piece, congratulations.
Good eye! Your right and I'll fix it ASAP

SirNeo WoW, so great!

Thxs, I wanted to go swimming the whole time I painted this piece

zboubi What a beautiful smile! Well done!

I hoped I got it right, and so far it seems well recieved.

elnady Very nice work man

MichaelMotion Hey David!

I wish I could do that, but I try to keep my eaisly inflated ego locked up in the darkest of dungeons. No telling what havok it would cause should it be released (laughs)

Abyssis ...great underwaterfeeling, very nice face :thumbsup:
glad you liked the pic.

stillx Oh shit ! I really dig it !

Thxs a lot.

Its all about emotion in the viewer, thxs for the comment.

R3desiGN Great impression of being underwater. There is only one thing that bothers me a little and that would be her breasts (I assume it is a female or at least that's what her face tells me) which are a bit too small. OK I know she is young but just one size bigger... :P
Hmmm tough call here. What your saying is true from one point of view but I didn't want to make it a visual disrupting piece to some people. She's young, not meant to be sexy. Like the post for more detail down in that area, I'm considering it but not sure at the moment. Thxs for the critic though its always good to hear peoples views on the pic.

[artjunkie]

Great work David! I love that underwater look... you've captured it brilliantly.

Can't wait to see more,

Cheers!

[elderberry]

Oh wow, almost perfect. Nothing to crit.

[Ikaa]

Great colors and lightning. Beautiful!

[gaianix]

nice characTER...........:thumbsup:

[mindofka]

Gprgeous 5 stars!:thumbsup:

It's very nice to think we had the same sensation that leaded to the same type of image.
The composition is different, but the same concept and feel over it.
This is why I fell in love with this piece, it's really what I need to see.
Let's get rid of that cold cold winter! :D

[MichaelZHsee]

very nice caustics effect on the skin,very beautiful work,u have gracefully captured the underwater feel:thumbsup:

[Luisa]

beautiful colors and skintone! just wondering though, did you leave the ear unifinished? i didn't notice it at first; it seems to be a little rough. anyway it doesn't distract from the whole image

[4dcube]

great image, a like it, good work.
