The scan wasn't kind to it. I don't know why sometimes the scanner makes things look so grainy. It seems to pick up and then magnify the almost non-existent texture of the paper in this one. Annoying.

Anyway. This one was done for The Herscher Project, project 28, Fear's Playground. This one was based off a nightmare I had a few a years ago. Basically I have this slight fear of drowning...and I had this dream that this rather malevolent nixie was terrorizing this small town near the sea and killing off men and boys. It was a vastly creepy dream that I can still remember quite vividly.

Anyway, the dream began with her drowning a boy who had been out surfing...so...yeah. We get this.

Her tail is awesome! I like the concept, too, heehee. ^_^

Very good proportions on the human body, especially the legs and arms! Great work! You're back on form, Lisa!

Ah...it's nice to see art boiled down to such a simple principle.

I love the texture here, and the fins on the mermaid. Great use of lighting and colour. <3 Especially the blues.

Banned because someone thinks I care enough about them to put all of my hard work at risk and purposefully evade their blocks. I love it when people exaggerate things to get their way.
Thanks! The lighting kind of happened by accident. I was just sloshing paint around at 1 am and suddenly I was like "Hey! There's ...light. Wow." ^_^

One of these days I'll start to actual pay attention to what I'm doing when I paint.

I :heart: ultramarine and raw umber. Together, they make the perfect blue for evil mermaids...

Come away, oh human child, to the waters and the wild, with a feare hand in hand while the world's more full of weeping...
than you may understand...
Wonderful choice of words to be paired with this dream/painting. The detail and compisition is stellar, be proud!

Thanks!! I'm glad you liked my choice of title. It took me a while to come up with something but that fit with part of the theme I was trying to get across--not every time a faerie promises to take you away, do they take you somewhere pleasant...

Thank you for commenting. :)

Ouch that looks painful! The mermaid is beautiful, I love her tail. You really captured the dark mood, I like the skulls that show it isn’t the first time she brought a guy to “her place”. ^^;
