REally like this piece. The first I encountered the original story was during a class on children's literature. Like how you can see movement even though the scene is stationary.

This is so beautiful. I love it.

Stunning

Love the creativity in this, ten thumbs up!  

My absolute favorite of yours!!!

oh my god this is Michaelagelo levels of amazing holy shit 0_0 that water distorting the light against the mermaid's body and the shape of the torso and hands, this is just so breathtaking. Well done!

Ah, finally one from the original .

Amazing 

Stunning.

Wow, this is really cool. You did a great job!

Simply stunning and a version we don't usually see.

dude. wow

Ooh, the colours are beautiful! I love your take on this fairy tale

this is gorgeous. she looks so strong.

Maybe the best interpretation of those I've seen.

oh man, your brilliant!

I will be happy with mermaids in any way, but you really give a new fresh look to this fairy tale. You did such a great job with the weightlessness of the prince in the water and how gentle she is sorta catching him, it's just so brilliant!!!

This is lovely, this story is rather depressing though...

Stunning visuals. I especially like the contrast coloring of above and under the water.

Beautiful!! O.o

Gorgeous!

this is absolutely stunning! Great work

This is astounding. I just love the tone of the piece, and I think it represents the mood for the story. Great job

This is really incredible. The water feels so.. solid- like an underwater camera. Keep up the lovely work!

Beautiful! The perspective is very nice.

this is so gorgeous!

I love how realistic it is that she's desperate to keep at least his head above the surface and that she's obviously struggling to do it but keeps holding on in such a determined way.
Wow!
Amazing. And I don't think I've seen a version of the little mermaid as black haired - which I like a lot.
Gah - this is so good! Thank you for sharing this!

Amazing picture ! Strong composition and beautiful colors, I really like it. ^

This is beautiful, vivid, incredibly well-shaded, and delicate... It's so lovely to see something so well done. An instant favorite.

Oh wow, this is lovely! I love the limited colour palette and how you dealt with the underwater lighting!

I love this story! I really like how everything in here is mostly blue

I was actually thinking about this part of the story just yesterday! I wondered how much effort it would take a little mermaid to save the prince. Your painterly style is lovely. The coolness in this makes me feel cool, I can imagine the sounds of the ocean and the feel of the rain! :0

This is so good!!! Well done!!!

Wow, I can't stop staring at the muscles in her back and the lighting on her ribcage...

beautiful colors and perspective

Why has this not got more comments? It is gorgeous.

I love the use of colour here. The feeling of being underwater and all the beautiful hues of blue. Probably my favorite aspects are her ribs and his hand. I aspire to be as good as you some day, but for now a favourite.

I love how you did the underwater, flowing hair!

So beautiful!

liz, i love thisss!

this is gorgeous, I love the perspective

Very pretty! It almost reminds me of some of Pablo Picasso's "Blue-Period" pieces
