DeviantArt Mermaid Challenge – Chillpaint

This was a DeviantArt Challenge that I did a few years ago. It was just to follow a tutorial and you’d earn a badge for your profile for participating.

I’m not super happy with the actual piece, but this song, though.

A few issues with the piece, the tutorial had you draw the tail differently than I did, so I adjusted it to be a better anatomical angle (you can see me struggling with it in the first 30 seconds), even though the width of the tail is just ridiculously thin. I also didn’t love the starfish bra, so I gave her a shirt and a spear. And I should’ve left most of the detail from the line drawing.

This song, though, is phenomenal: If I disappear (ft. Tom Martensson) by Tosu

Will someone look for me if
I disappear?
No matter how much that I scream
Nobody hears
But I see the light from far away
It’s down the line
Maybe I should not give up
Without a fight
Cause there will be a time

When there’s so many things that I keep in my mind
I hang around people I don’t even like
If they can be happy and walk with a smile
Oh why can’t I?

How relatable.

Anyway, here is the completed version, with the line art:
