Mermaid's Touch

And the recent piece that I'm MOST proud of - the product of about three days straight of work, here's my mermaid piece. I wanted to work in some aspects that this isn't just a shiny happy mermaid - the claws, and the very mysterious expression. Is this a lovely young mer-woman... or is this a siren-esque creature to lure young men to their deaths?

The concept is looking down into the water as she's coming up to see you, hand extended to touch the surface from beneath.
