This is such an incredible picture. There's... really no critique I could ever find for it! The colors, the lighting, the careful attention to composition and flow, it all turned out just beautiful. Your handling of the underwater feeling is aaawesome. Underwater/abovewater pictures are always so hard to capture (especially in tropical settings), but you nailed it. I'm also loving the general design of the iceberg itself... it looks perfectly halfway between "iceberg" and "Mermaidville. Love it!
(what I'M wondering is this: is it a city shaped to look like an iceberg, or an iceberg shaped like a city?
My favorite part of the picture is the mermaid, and how she, despite being so tiny compared to the HULKING iceberg, is the focus of the picture. Our eyes are always drawn to her. A very very beautiful picture, Ko, you did excellent on it!
Good! I'm afraid that the mermaid would get lost when I had to scale the image down for DevArt. I was contemplating adding more than one, but I think I'm glad that I stuck with one little mermaid.
Thanks for the sweet compliments love <3 It was sort of a weird piece for me because literally it has been in my head for years. Ever since coming across this one particular photo of an underwater iceberg (I think it was an advertisment at the time) it just stuck. It didn't change at all either, this is almost exactly what I had visualized years ago. I've never gone through this sort of experience before.
...I did not think of that. I guess all along I was working under the concept of an iceberg that looks like a city, but I cannot think of anything that would go against the concept of city that looks like an iceberg. Now that I think about it...I'm beginning to lean towards them making it look like an iceberg. Hmmm.
But yes, I think that one mermaid did the job just fine. Any more would've detracted from it, because then we'd have TWO things to focus on.
