Description

Alexandria is a city on the north coast of Egypt, once controlled by the Roman Empire. The ancient part of the city is now underwater, with a few mysteries still left to uncover. Even though the city was named after a dude (Alexander the Great) I thought it to be a fitting theme for a mermaid image. Everyone needs a mermaid in their gallery!

EDIT: I made the tail longer and lightned it up a little.

Nicely done. You portrayed the lighting very well. I agree with having the hair more affected by the water.

Beautiful! Love the moment and lower part. I think u must put some buble upper her head to make this mean "in the water".

The neck, collarbones and shoulders need a bit more work

otherwise great job. nice tonalities

I agree with the above, the tail really needs to be bigger and her hair to float and move more, but its a beautiful piece. I also think the position of her neck looks a little stiff. But all in all, this is beautiful! You have a real skill!

Great and pretty girl! Cool colours.
Little crits : her neck is too thick IMO, and you should had some underwater vegetations on the ruins.
