I'm fine with that as long as it's just for personal use. I appreciate you checking with me first. I supposed it is a good size dimension to fit on an iphone case - I had not considered that before. I'd really love to see a photo of your phone with this image on it! :D

I love the slight blur on the view beneath the water, but I also think that it would be cool to see a slightly sharper foucs above the surface. In its entirety, I love this piece.

So this must mean there's a difference between freshwater mermaids and saltwater ones

I love how you drew her wet hair.

I like to think there is a difference in the same ways that freshwater fish differ from saltwater. More muted colors, slightly smaller perhaps....I dunno. Thanks for the comment :)

I'm sure their skin and breathing would be different too. It's interesting you said muted colors (and even used the word "muted") and stuff like that. I wasn't even thinking about their appearances. I was just thinking about chemistry! :XD: But I should have been thinking about appearances. :nod:

A river mermaid sounds cool.
