Its was bloody cold when I did this up, I needed a warm thought or two. So I dreamt of summer past times and this idea was born. I wanted enchanting youth that may or may not be real in a mystical natural world. I called her a mermaid, if she is one I'm not sure. I left the dead give away tail out of the shot. She has no gills or scales on her skin. No bubbles come from her mouth though. I wanted it left to the viewer to choose. Like a tale from a drunk fisherman who swares he saw a mermaid, it up to you to decied if you believe the story or not.

This is an illustration I did back in 2005 for Fiery Dragon. It was for a mini-game war series. Budget was tight on this so a lot of the details had to be "cheated" but I still over all love the composition and mood of the piece.]]> Wed, 05 Apr 2006 15:38:38 +0000 http://sourgrapes.cgsociety.org/gallery/260816

Hi everyone. I haven't posted on CG talk before, but I've been looking and admiring everyone's great work.
I created this image, mainly using Photoshop. I used a bit of painter to create an under painting for the background. I was also playing with the idea of having a silhouette of another sentinel off on the right hand side, but I chose instead to keep it as negative space, adding a soft touch of rain, as it is what I wanted to capture most with in this picture
Hmm...I don't know what else to say except, enjoy ^^.

Well this is my 2nd attempt at a different style then I'm use to. I do this mainly to break out of doing the same old things over and over again. Normal I work more in a painter like techneique with medieval or war game covers being typical. I thought I would take a brake from the realistic aproach and try my luck Enjoy.
