So I may be biased for this one, but you can’t deny how gorgeous the colors are, how stunning the details are, how seductive the poses are with these tempting, handsome Mer Boys. I lose my breath every time I look at them, like I’m drowning in their beauty just desperate to know more about them.
Suffice it to say that I love this artwork so much that I printed and framed it and it's up on my wall and I look at it every day; the perfect predatory expression on Dick's face here will haunt me for the rest of my life, in all the best ways. Mel is just so uniquely talented to capture the atmosphere of a story and translate it into beautiful, breathtaking art that it makes me cry on a daily basis.
It's just gorgeous. The sheer amount of detail and the glow. The mottled markings on their skin and the flowing fins. No one draws mermaids like mlim8. The possessive way Dick is holding Jason is my favorite part, absolutely beautiful
