This is really lovely, @kristyglas ! I love the design process and the back story behind her being 'dark' mermaid ... the sacrificial knife really completes the dark look, and i love the colours, also <3
Good luck in the competition <3 <3

Is your mermaid wearing clothes or is that part of the body? It's a great character design and nice colour choices too. I'm kind of surprised the blood stayed on the knife ;D Love the body markings and all the fins and things, and the end animated process was great for seeing quickly how it all eventually came together.
I also loved the sketchies and the track you were listening to ;D

Haha yeahh, awesome you noticed ^^ the only way it could still be on the knife is if it was fresh ;P
I actually wanted the scales to be more part of the body at first, but once I started coloring, it felt better to have it stand out, so I guess it's clothes now :)
I love process gifs, but they're only practical to make for digital art ^^
Thank you!

Your work is really inspiring; your studies and background research are very detailed. I really appreciate the artistic journey and the opportunity to learn from your art.
Thank you @kristyglas.

Thank you! I admit, writing things down like this is like a journal :D Also I get more ideas for next time. Sometimes I have just vague memories of things like cultural rituals and it can even be subconscious, but I realize what inspired me once I write things down ^^ And I learn more when I find sources :D

Hi.
I already see why you call it a dark mermaid, since with that heart in your hand I assume that it was taken by some clueless sailor.
in fine cute drawing and I hope you win in your contest.

What a great take on the subject. I completely agree with your final choice of colors and I like all the sharp edges. My favorite part is how you approached the banding around her tail.

Wow. Its perfect already. Thanks for the impacted knowledge. I thought Atlantis was just a name of a movie i watched. Your posts are always educative. I wish to learn the basics in digital painting. Do you have videos that shows the process?

Thank you! ^^ I don't have any videos and I don't think my pc can handle it. It heats up just from drawing :)
For basics I recommend Lynda website- Deke instructor for photoshop. The give out free trials and 1 month isn't expensive for all it offers. ^^
I probably won't teach basics as every program is different, but I'm sure you can find lots of awesome tutorials online. Good luck!
