[Visual] Mermaid Fish Riders

[garygill]

HAPPY FISH MONTH!!!


I figured mermaids must get bored of eating fish all the time.  So I painted this illustration depicting one method mermaids could use for hunting animals that live above the sea.

PSCS2, round brush, one layer.

Still amazing as ever.

[Leventhan]

Wow, I wish I can draw like that.
Great job gary!

[Dwarra?]

One problem, that bird at the bottom would be obliterated.

[Arrow]

What sword said is the only thing that bothers me. You couldn't even poke a bird with that big honkin' thing less ya held it still. o_O

Totally rocks though.

You should draw a mermaid war. Two armies of mermaids and mermen riding war fish.

Thanks for the comments and crits.  Made some minor changes, including resizing that giant spearhead in the foreground.

While I do not claim to be an expert on the sport of bird-stabbing, I would still submit that it would be rather difficult with a weapon of that fashion. perhaps something the thickness of the pole, ending in a longer, needle-esque point?

Hapless nitpicking aside, fantastic job on that resize- and the increased size of the wound on the foremost bird. :3

[garygill]

Hmm, it's obvious my pictures lack authenticity.  I will try to improve on that.

Excellent work garygill
It's a joy to the eye.

[Leventhan]

I think those are water droplets, ahref.

[garygill]
