Out of Water

This has distinction of being the first acrylic thing I've painted without my teacher. Also the first thing not painted on a paint-board-thingy. I finished the pencils and copied them onto card stock. At any rate, this does the original no justice. The scanner murdered the colors so completely that PSP couldn't help (they're smoother and bright IRL) and I think something went wrong resizing, too.

I won 2nd in my division for this. That was nice. At the same place, there was also a mob of boys making fun of anime and the fact that Miss Mermaid has no bra. Pfft, whatever. My mermaids are kinda like those from Sea Princess Azuri (although those are Orcan people), it's just one long body.

Bird=fun, sand=evil. Also, how many anime-style things are done with acrylics? I've seen, like, one. This medium needs more love!
