It all finally dried.

And it scanned reasonably well. There's a teeny bit of blurring from the 3-D elements, like the pearls in her hair, and all that fun stuff.

I like to think she's trying to be nice, and is reaching out to be his friend. I mean, he clearly is in some kind of distress, but it's hard to say for sure whether her intentions are good or not.

Originally I intended for her to be gazing up at him in adoration, because she'd somehow managed to fall in love with him but he had never noticed. But then it came out this way instead, and I have to say I like the ambiguity a little better.

Maybe someday they'll love each other. I miss mermaids.
