There are few things about summer that I love more than my extended time. I finished this one in about two days, nonstop. My shoulder kills and I regret being lazy with some parts, but I like how this one came out.

This is actually the first pic that I've colored that has an actual full-fledged background. I gotta say...it makes a difference in effort and in quality.

I'm still a bit sketpical about the color of the sky, i had gone through many shades when I was just like, "screw this! you shall be gray!"

I also didn't really like how the fin came out...I had absolutly no idea how to do fins and I tried imitating fish fins the best I could but it just looked more and more messy... so i came up with this 2nd grader type thing xP

I was actually inspired by the other koi mermaids around DA, so it wasn't an original idea, but she is a little different than the others.

I had my friend critisize this for me, but i'm also asking you fellow artists for any critisizms you might bear, i would really love to hear them.
