If you are having serious trouble with scanners, sometimes useing a high res digital camera can help you get a better image of the picture, especially if you have good lighting conditions. 
The arms are a little sausagey, especially the top one. The gesture is nice, but remember that there are bones in there some some straightish forms will be applicable, usually around the wrist area where the bones are closer to the skin.
Over all the composition is nice and the movement is very graceful. The colors seem a little undersaturated for the "intensity" of the subject, but it could just be the scanner that did that.
The details on the fin and in the hair leave something to be desired for me. The rest of the image seems so painterly, so fluid. The sketchy lines of the hair and fins disrupt that feeling a little. More so the hair that falls in front of her than the hair diretly around her head.
Well, I hope that's helpful. :3 Good luck with the series! <3 (Sakky loves mermaids, she should draw some :3)

It's very good. <3
The only thing I have to say is that her right arm looks a bit like rubber, the way it bends.
@___@ Don't hate me. It's just that I go to an art college and they train me to look for things like this now. xD
I don't know if you meant to make it like that or not.

Thanks for the critique. : ) I see what you mean by the rubbery arm! It's much appreciated!
I tried to make a flowly piece, so the arm is probably distorted. When I tried to make the body accurate and not flowy, she was way too stiff! So I just let loose and made the body in 10 min instead of 4 hours. XD
Thank you for the critique again! I'll keep this in mind for my other works. : )
