her tail should be much longer ! And turn it the other way around !

Nothing more to say .. its hard to crit something unfinished.

he he ... no i meant turn her tail . only the tail *lol* but that was a stupid idea anyway . Confused

But have a look at the shape .. maybe more "S" look

The scene seems to take place deep in the ocean, where everything is dark and colors are muted, yet she seems to have a spotlight on her. I suggest unifying the foreground and background.

Thanks drew and see..
See - haha.. ah ok.

Here is a new test, darker more desaturated colors, longer tail again Smile

Hey, we're still waiting for the unicorn.

I'd add bluish colors to the mermaid to make her fit better.

I will add blueish hues to merge everything last, when the anathomy and details are fixed. Basicly its the postwork Smile

The unicorn has some more work until its done.
version 4 is online at http://www.nalf.it

Wow, the background is looking great!! That shark is totally horrific, great job. Just one suggestion, the mermaid's colors should be less saturated and more bluish, since she's underwater.
