Swimming in the Reef

Mermaid
Photoshop 7
no ref

The fish-girl was fun to design, and the background was a bitch to draw. I did many versions before I found one that I saw fit. Yes, the reef looks a bit bare, but when I tried adding more life to it, it just took away from the center focus. I think I might have overdid it a bit with the shiny and sparkles, tho. I do like how the background turned out though.

Enjoy.
