Artist's Comments

Why must sea slugs be so pretty... @_@
This was done for , a most interesting commission that was right up my alley. xD I hadn't drawn nudibranchs as mermaids before, even though I've seen other people do it, so I'm glad I finally sat down and tried.

This is my first completed online commission, and I'm rather loathe to just stop working and say it's done. I keep staring at it thinking there's something I should fix ^_^;; It was interesting trying to match the natural colors of these very colorful and vibrantly patterned creatures. Still kinda iffy on the background...

Anyway, hope you like it, Jigokuko! ^_^

Oh, that's cute! The background is fine, it doesn't distract from the main event, being the cute characters you got there.

Because seaslugs ARE so pretty! Looks wonderful, I can easily tell their species from your markings and colors, and it is interesting how you dealt with the nudibranch anatomy too.

Very nice Erica! :3

Tha background is pretty cool as well. I like how it's simple, yet you understand that it's an underwater sea scape.
