Oh gosh, finally! After months of judging, it's all over and I can put my entries into the Illustrators of the Future Contest up on the web without threat of possibly being disqualified! :D This, out of all three entries, was the only one I actually made completely for the contest instead of just re purposing. I did this one, I believe, in early April, right before I submitted to the contest. I wanted to do something with a mermaid, and that initial thought just kinda took me down the path that led to this painting, I suppose. In hindsight, I didn't get the glowing designs very symmetrical, and I could have fooled around with the upper left fins a bit more, but it was good for what it was.

It would probably make a pretty sick album cover now that I think about it.
