Description I felt inspired to draw this. I'm very proud of it.

Was reminded to mention... Inspired and mostly copied from 'Arthur Spiderwick's Guide to Fantastical Beasts'. Brilliant book.

Ooh! I'd like to think of this species as a type of swamp mermaid! (: Very pretty

Looks like a picture from Arthur Spiderwicks Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You....the pose is the same, the design is very similar, the head is the same......even the fins are the same! Wow, coincidence or what, eh?

You're very observant! I forgot to mention it, but that's actually the book I was inspired from! I have it myself, and after looking through it, I felt this big urge to draw the mermaid. As I am very unimaginative in creating them, I basically drew the book mermaid but in my style.

I love that book ^_^ I've got it myself, I was also inspired to draw a mermaid Holly Black is very talented.

Sorry I sounded a bit off, I get annoyed if people draw stuff from reference and don't give credit to the references >.>

I love the shading on this, and the hair is very pretty ^^

As you should be, it's beautifully drawn, coloured & the background works very well. Incredibly serene.
