So that's why it looks much like your famous "Deep Sea Creature". I still remember that you used to add the jellys to it but then decided to remove them to focus on the creature right ? Thus, this pic can't give me such a great impression as "Deep Sea Creature" did. But your talent is still there of course :). The only thing I can say that the tentacles don't really look like those a real octopus, unless it's your purposely creation.

4 stars okay ?

Scary stuff Diane. I like the jellyfish and the way you’ve textured the skin of the mermaid
I'll keep an eye out for the final tutorial in the PSD mag. (great.:thumbsup:!)

Btw, I think your mermaid is a close friend of “my Siren” who has an intimate affection for octopusses :D

[Dianae]

Thank you very much people :)

pnkdan : that's indeed why she looks like Deep sea creature ;) About the tentacles : it was not meant to be very realistic (the jellyfishes are not realistic either) since this is a fantasy creature :) Thank you!

Emile : I had not thought about that! They must be friends indeed :D

It has a beautiful other-worldly feel to it Diane. Really nicely done.
