Hmmm.

The first thing that catches my eye is how awesome that big fancy fin looks. Good choice of colors, especially the design of her scales.

The lower half of her figure seems too skinny to me. Her tail is very thin, it seems more suited to the form of an eel than a fish. I'd widen her hips, thicken her tail and make it a bit longer to give her a stronger figure. It could work as it is now if she was quite young, but the boobs suggest that isn't what you were going for - so I think she'd look better with more development. The upper body and arms look fine though.

The hair could use some work. The consistency looks like that of a 2d object - like flat fabric, rather than full-bodied hair. It looks a little awkward how the hair breaks - it branches out sort of like a tree, with each strand taking some rather sharp turns, each in very different directions. Each strand should have a smooth flow from the head to the end.

Something about the nose bothers me...I think because of the way it's drawn at a strong angle but the face is facing forward.

I hope that was helpful, I tend to nitpick a lot. ^^;

No! Thank you! ^_^U it takes alot of guts to nitpick! (I know! when I give critisim I'm always worried how the person will react) Anyway, lets see I did notice that she was kinda skinny, (afterwards), and my hair skills still need alot of work, The fin is sort of messed up (mostly because it wasn't the orignal fin I drew) And the nose is because it got messed up by my scanner so it was added in in my poto program.

umm, a few reasons *cough*excuses*cough* as to why some aspects of my picture sucks. 1) I'm using a program called Photo Impresson that came with my scanner... (crapy program... I'd much rather use photo shop but sadly I don't have it or the room on my computer for it) 2) My computer takes a long time to do commands (because it has no space ^_^)

uh let see, I was practicing skin tones and eyes in this (after reading numorous photoshop things and simplifing them for my program) anyway I think it's one of my best things yet so I'm content ^_^. (hope I didn't ore you... I wanted to reply since you were so nice to give me critisim)
