Artist's Comments

I wanted to practice underwater scenes. I quite like the colours in this but I find colouring water without digital media, reeeally difficult :dead: I think I got the lighting wrong as well...but this was more an experiment :shrug:

I don't know why but I like creepy, dark, killer mermaids. They're so different from the bright, pretty, flamboyant, tropical ones :XD:


took 4-5 hours over 2 days. used watercolours, gouache, acrylic, derwent studio pencils and derwent watercolour pencils.

Hey, this is really nice, the lighting looks fine to me, I think it'd make a great MtG card. ;)

thats really cool! while i can't do it myself cuz i suck at painting, i noticed with other underwater paintings that there is a shimmer cast down onto the objects below (like the skulls in this one). just a tip since you were wondering about lighting ;) fantastic painting though

I think Jim Morrison put it best when he said "Hand me another beer."
