Artist's Comments

Drawn in 2005, pencil, "equalize" photoshop filter to give it an old look.
I like this picture though it has a few obvious problems, for instance, the odd position of the ear on the girl. Actually, that's mainly the problem that bugs me.
Faults set aside, the girl is supposed to mimic the mermaid prows of ships. Only the ship is growing out of her head, and the hair is like water. Oddly enough behind the girl is a calm sea, though the boat seems to be riding turbulent (hair) waves. XD It's not so much an illusion as a concept. We know boats go in water, and this one is near water but actually not in it...annnd...I probably shouldn't try to write a description at five a.m. :D
So long, and thanks for all the fish!

GREAT CONCEPT
:iconbaronmofo:
this is a great portrait... although the rest of the negative space is nice it is mainly the size of the womans ear and the distance away from her face that is really distorting her. I suggest you look at a few works of degas to have a better sense of realistic human proportion.

Accepting all your words about it-but one thing you forgot to mention there-so Iīll do it :) Itīs a great idea, the water, the clouds and the ship sre perfect and the added colours are fantastic :hug: Donīt critisize yourself, thereīs lot of others who will do it :) And in this case, no need to critisize

It was once told in Symmyrnea... That whoever would talk to pine barks in the forest,write the mystery on the sea with ancient woods and take those faces to the isolated rocks on an island, would find the road to OEGGEM. And...(the end is the beginning)

“Rather than asking ‘Who am I?’ we
might ask, ‘In how many ways can I be myself?’ Rather
than asking ‘What is my place in the world?’ the
question might be better put, ‘In how many ways can I
experience a sense of belonging to the world?’”
