My Jolly Sailor Boldby *Ryuuka-Nagare

Download PNG 664 × 940
It's an entry for `Damaged927's Manga/Anime Repeating Contest OCTOBER 2011
Theme : Ghost <3

"...My name is Maria
A merchant's daughter fair
And I have left my parents
And 2,000 pounds a year

My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold

Come all ye pretty fair maids
Whoever ye may be
Who love a jolly sailor bold
That ploughs the raging sea..."

OMG I love Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides~ :love:
Well..I'm not really sure about the lyrics, but at least that's what I remember after watching it. :XD:

She's one of the antagonist OCs from my 'Virtual World', Marmalade La Quinn.
I created her last year in chibi version :

Bah, it's a bit different from this current version, yes?

Critique by ~toonham Sep 2, 2011, 3:35:11 PM
This whole image feels like it belongs in a storybook about the dangers of mermaids. I really think that it is the expression of the mermaid that says it all, particularly with that head-tilt. The detail-work in the scales is phenomenal. The use of cool, pale colours and indistinct lines really gives a ghostly, eerie aura. In addition, I quite like the wavy movements clearly shown by the mermaid's hair to reinforce the underwater atmosphere. Light plays an important part here, making a frame around the mermaid, forcing you to stare into her curious eyes.

I only find a problem with the line-work in this piece. The mermaid's left ear and left forearm have oddly distinct lines in comparison to the rest of her, which is stands out a bit, as the majority of the other distinct lines are on the skull.

Overall, I really like this. Excellent work.
What do you think?

The water is so real and at the same time it's almost a dreamy aura...I loved the pirates of the caribbean and the song! The skull in her hand seems to be smiling... As if the sailor died still happy with the mermaid! Nice touch.
