My pirate man and his mermaid savior. ^^

I have to admit… I was a little hesitant to post this picture… I had originally planned to post it the moment I finished it… But it didn’t happen. I guess I am just not used to posting my original stuff. I sometimes have a hard time accepts criticism when it comes to my originals. I guess it’s because they mean more to me than my fan arts. *laughs* But anyway… I’m going to go out on a limb and post a picture that is one hundred percent created by me. Yay! *laughs*

Well I suppose I should try to tell you a little bit about the picture huh? The idea came from a picture I drew a long time ago. I found it while searching through some old papers and I decided to redraw it. I spent the entire summer working on this thing… so I guess it was worth it. *laughs* I have to admit I am pretty pleased with the way it came out. (And unfortunately now that it’s finished I can see all the things I could have done better, oh well I guess. Do better on the next one). The fish especially… I need to work on drawing animals and such. I should have gotten a book on fish or something…

Oh, a couple of friend’s brought this up when they saw me drawing this so I thought I should mention it before I start getting comments on it. I never meant for this to look like an anime version of the Little Mermaid. In all honesty… I didn’t even have that story in mind while I drew this. The characters were for a manga that I was going to create but never got around to. I might start it up again someday.

Well I guess that’s all. I hope you like it. Oh and if you critique, please be nice. *bows*
