Ocean Sprite
Ocean Sprite by @Cyanide (Ana Nyte)

A very old image, but something I still like for some reason. This is my image of an ocean sprite. Yeah, she has no hands, but she can use those tentacle-like hooked 'fingers' to catch food and to camouflage herself among the corals and caves. And that mighty barbed tail of her is great for defence, plus, each needle contains poison... And she is amphybian, she can walk perfectly fine on earth as well as swim under water. I'm not quite sure where this idea came from, but I would appreciate any comments people might give me, this image got no responce on Elfwood for the longest time, I was hoping I will get some more feedback here.

What I like about this picture: hair, arms/hands, legs/feet, tail, position.
What I don't like about this picture: face, breasts, the dirt in the background.
The face is actually not that bad, but the eye is crooked. Her boobs are so crooked it's not even funnyand the shading is all wrong on them. And I don't need to comment on the dirt in the background, lol.
I love how you did the flow of hair, it really looks like she is underground, her feet look great, well, her foot looks great XD, and so do her legs, you positioned them very nicely and the design of that tail is very cool, too bad you can't see it very well due to the scan size, but I can picture what the original looks like. Just one question, how does she swim, she has legs therefore she would have to swim like people do, but it would be so much harder to do with her 'fingers' shaped like that, just a random observation, cool picture.
