Mermaid

This actually didn't take as long as I thought it would from initial conception, but it did take a decent amount of time. I've been wanting to do a good mermaid picture for a while, and since I'd never done a water picture with the perspective as half in/half out, I wanted to give that a go, too. There was a lot of experimental work going on in this, but I think I learned a lot, and I enjoy the outcome. Hopefully, so will you.
