Artist's Comments

I decided to name this Nymph "Nereid" because it is one of Neptune's moons. Neptune, of course, is the god of the sea (Correct me if I'm wrong). In Greek mythology, nymphs were believed to be beautiful goddesses or maidens of nature, usually the forests, mountains, or water. This one looks like she's a bit off balance, sorry about that. I finished this piece of work because I'm stressed over my Science exam tomorrow and I'm scared of failing, so hopefully this little nymph will vent what's left of the anxiety I have over the finals.

By the way, she's NOT naked. She's sort of got the swirled patches all over her blue-skinned body, (almost like Felicia from Darkstalkers). And I have no clue why the only color besides blue and green in this picture are the pink colored eyes.

Absolutely beautiful. I like the contrast of the pink eyes against the blue-green of the rest of the picture. The pose is perfect, and the hair and the wings are elegant. Great job.

Very pretty. I especially love the wings and the conveniently placed swirls. XD
