Description Edited : I changed the color scheme and added a watermark. Too many art thefts

Hi artists!

Here's the finished version of the Sea Dancers Thanks a lot for your comments on the steps!!!

It's part of a project about the 4 elements. This one is Water, I hope you'll like it!

Everything has been painted from scratch in photoshop CS. About 15 hours.


Refs used for the face and body (linked below), everything else is imagination. Thanks a lot to [link] for the wonderful stock image he provides! Body ref : [link]



Alternate Version (green one) : [link]

WIP : [link]

Refs : [link]

Closeups : [link]


Some of you may notice the "grainy" texture, it's due to the invisible watermark.

Please full-view, lots of details are lost in the small version

Prints are now available WIP of "Fire" coming soon.

Thanks to everybody who have viewed the deviation and written a comment here, I'm a little bit busy so I don't have time to reply right now, I'll try to do it as soon as possible!

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More-government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died. Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes u will have the best day of ur life tomorrow. u will either get kissed or asked out, if u break this chain u will see a little dead girl in your room tonight. in 53 mins someone will say i love you or im sorry

This is probbaly fake

Have you changed the way you paint hair? It looks different than what I'm used to seeing from you somehow... I'm not sure if I like it. It seems so sharp and rough compared to the soft painterly skin. Or was the contrast intentional?

Never-the-less you are a phenominal artist and it is a beautiful piece of work.

I can hear music on the movements of their hair.. I'm like in a synaesthesia.

Wonderful work.

I like the grainy texture. It makes it feel more surreal. The hair looks like a creature of it's own that moves by it's own motors and I like that you made individual scales. I always feel sad when artists opt out of the scales. I would imagine that the fins would be more fishlike and translucent with the colors behind it coming out more.
