Description
The young mermaid catches a glimpse of something in the water. Then quickly swims through the waters as she discovers the helpless body sinking to his death. Hoping the worst has not come, her arms grab him and they both fly through the deep waters and up to surface as fast as her fins can move."Please be alive," she cries out.
As I was drawing this, I couldn't help but think about the Little Mermaid. Again, the Photoshop coloring took far longer than actually inking the picture. Still working on breaking that habit, but I hope you feel it paid off...

Lovely mermaid! Glad to see she's the helpful variety!! Β Her finned ears & markings on her arms look awesome!

Thank you! She's definitely sweet for rescuing a random man from drowning. But I'll take your sweet definition too.

So beautiful!
I love your style 
According to me, she's a much better little mermaid than the Little Mermaid herself... ^^

Yay! All those things were exactly what I was hoping for.
Better than The Little Mermaid? You flatter me. The Little Mermaid's actually one of my favorite (though not my top five)Disney movies, so hearing that means a lot. ^_^

"Help! This merman has lost his gills!"
"Uh...that's a human. A very...drowned human."
"Oops..."

LOL! Oh no!
"And he lost his fins and his scales and his tail!"

"Well he never had them to begin with...but if he's going to live, he's going to need them now! I need my reagents and another healer to help me...and get me that Orca tissue base. I've got to scrub up...life is life and I am sworn to give each life a chance."

Hehe, my mermaid's got some doctor/science brains apparently. XD

Cool, I like the stripes of scales on her skin.

Yay! The inspiration actually came from a mermaid/angel/fairy watercolor book. Maybe someday I'll work up my skills and do something similar with watercolors.

I'm also a fantasy fan (you can probably tell from my other artwork). I'll have to check out your work as well. Thanks for the comments. ^_^

This is very very nice! I love all the details, and all that Photoshop paid off. Looks amazing. I love your mermaid fins and scales.

I'm glad! Thank you for the comment. Making this picture certainly taught me much about how things look underwater.

This is really lovely!! You get a great impression of depth in the pic, and the colours are beautiful!

Thank you. Making this picture taught me a couple things about how things look underwater, such as the color of hair and the shading of the bubbles.

Bubbles are really fun to shade, well... I think so xD
Soap bubbles are an interesting thing to try too, since they've got so many colours on them!

I love soap bubbles. In fact, I almost drew them as if they were so, but despite how pretty they can look, I needed to challenge myself with the underwater bubble look.

Haha yes i see, they wouuld have been out of place in this situation, but you managed the underwater bubbles pretty well too
