I adore mermaid pictures.
And mermen (or merboys, male mermaids in general) are rarer to find than they should be.
And this picture is gorgeous. The many fins on his tail and arms (which is how I like to draw merpeople as well), the scales on his face and shoulder, the webbed hands, the unhuman bending of the tail (basically putting the tail in a way that shows it’s not just some human in a merperson costume, which I always LOVE), underwater hair of the merman is done so excellently which I always appreciate, the colors are all wonderful.
I also love the scifi feel of the picture, the girl (? I assume it’s a girl) in the astronaut/deep sea explorer outfit and ship is excellently done. There is that subtle sense of fear as well, with the cracks in the glass and water slowly filling up that pod, reflected in the sad expression in of the merman—yet she seems rather resigned and more interested in looking at the creature I assume she’s never seen before.
Overall amazing and gorgeous picture.
