Description
So... Oscar is semi-sort of resurrected (or as a special someone so cleverly put it, a Mac-Zombie... "Raaaaaaaaam!")
This started out as a test to see how much I can squeeze out of Photoshop for the time being, and I got carried away. This is a colored version of my octo-mermaid sketch (or more properly, as I've been informed, and Wiki conforms, a cecaelia ) all blue green and ... swimmy.
Still plugging away, but in a crippled sort of fashion. Things will improve when the compu-stork brings Oscar's little brother home to me.
2H and Mechanical Pencil Sketch,
Colored in Photoshop CS3 with my Preciousssssss

I love the tentacle arms. They remind about Mike Lewoski's lover. XD

Awesome design. Love how the hair mirrors the curves of the tentacles. Great use of kelp too

This is truly one of my favorite pieces on DA. Beautifully done. I am currently using it as the background on my phone. The eyes are great. I also like the seaweed corset... Nice touch.

Fantastic colors and beautiful girl. I love how her hands are tentacles as well. And her eyes just pull everything together. The first thing I thought when I saw it was that it would make a great tattoo. XD

I love the monochromatic color palette and the print that you used to texture her tentacles! The background is a nice minimalistic style that leaves focus on the subject. I'm not too fond of her arms being tentacles, so I'll just image that they got lost in her hair... although, I guess it's a creative take on the idea. I like the highlights and tones throughout the piece, very nice lighting. A very nice piece!

Wow, a gorgeous cecaelia! One of my favs on dA!
(BTW- no joke- I wrote Wikipedia's article on cecaelia. While another guy from the Seatails forums made the page, it was I alone- from the same forums- who expanded it into what it is today.)

She's lovely! Apart from the fact that she has tentacles for arms (it's just my personally taste, I prefere to see arms and hands), I really like this artwork and not only because my favourite colour is green. Her face is gorgeous. You coloured it really well and I like the shades. It gives me a warm feeling when I look at it

Great work! Awesome colors, too...but I only counted seven tentacles including her arms, how does that work out

Ooh, she's beautiful. I love the use of pattern.

you did a great job, to be honest I'd like her better if she has hands instead of tentacles, but it's still gorgeous! :3
