Art trade with :iconuinn:! :D This is her OC Tahnn <3

I'm so sorry it's so late, you did your half over a month ago :iconcraiplz:

Go and look at Uinn's awesome pic of Kalexi here~


I'm still not very good with backgrounds, but I tried 8'D I'm trying my best to practice; on them whenever I get the chance. Thanks to *KitJoYuki, *HRLSS-GeckoTea and ~Tenri for the advice! <3

Hope you like it, *Uinn! QAQ I have a larger version with no watermark that I can send you too!

Made in SAI, approx. 15 hours~

Here I have to agree that the background is wonderful... it has a hazy and mystical touch that is so hard to reproduce in art. I love the moon and the mist and amidst there is the mermaid with almost frightnened expressions that match with the theme of the picture... or the overall feel if you want to call it. Wonderful work indeed in my opinion.

Thank you very much! <3 Tahnn apparently doesn't go to the surface very often so I'm glad you picked up on the nervousness in his expression. And I'm glad you like the background too!

Yeah, I think he's meant to be quite a shy character and I also wanted to try and portray his hesitance because he doesn't go to the surface very often ^^

This picture is just beautiful!! *o* I love it! It was really worth the wait!! :D :heart: :heart:

I really really love the background and the general atmosphere! This moonlight! The way you coloured the water! *___*
How well you integrated Tahnn into the background! HIS HAIR!!!!!!
The tail looks really good too! :excited: So shiny and with your texturing! In some places the scales look a bit like feathers, it's original XD
You are the very first person to draw Tahnn on the surface, I think that's really amazing of you! :D Thank you! :hug:

((A little remark about the anatomy for your future drawings if you draw a similar pose: be careful with the arm length, the arm on the rock looks a little shorter and thicker in the forearm than the other one (especially around the wrist). And if I look really closely, I can see something maybe a little off with the clavicle (too long?) and pectorals: with this angle I believe we should be able to see the beginning of the second ones. ........maybe this doesn't sound very clear, sorry u_u))

Again, I looooooove this picture :heart:o:heart: I'm so glad we did this trade!

Yay, I'm glad you like it! I was a bit worried you didn't because I missed out the little details X'D

The background was an experiment, I've drawn Ikurei in the sun so I decided to draw your merman at night! :D

Haha, sorry about the feather-scales, I don't have a lot of practice drawing larger scales so they might have ended up looking a bit odd xD;

I see what you mean about the anatomy o3o I need to practice drawing the chest area more. A good excuse to draw some shirtless men! xD

Thanks very much, I'm glad we did it too! :heart:

The background is pretty cool! O: It really looks like one of those creepy beaches where merfolk lurk around. :la:
And I really like the character too, especially the tail. :3
Great jobv overall! <33

Thank you very much! :D I've drawn Ikurei on a sunny beach, so I decided for this merman, I'd try a beach at night instead :la:
