Mermaid

Well, that was unusual. Whereas usually a picture of this magnitude takes me at least a week to complete, this time I managed to complete one in a single day. It was quite an intensive day, though. The quick progress is partially the result of the high use of photographic textures - they covered up most of the inaccuracies and mistakes, so I got satisfied about the look of the picture quite quickly. There's still stuff I might've improved, but this also seems like the kind of picture that can be left a bit sketchier than usual. The coloring style is somewhat different from what I've used lately, so comments about that are appreciated.
