Leaping Mermaid

I've never particularly liked the standard mermaids; it always seemed to me that a combination of the classes Mammalia and Actinopterygii (fish) was rather silly. Instead, it seemed like a combination within Mammalia of a cetacean with the human would work much better. I've chosen Tursiops truncatus , the Bottlenose Dolphin, as the "bottom" for the Homo sapiens "top".

I didn't put this in Anthro because it's not a standard Anthromorph; rather, it's a re-vamp of mermaids, which are quite firmly in the Fantasy area.

This was done in Photoshop, at four times the visible resolution. Sorry about the huge watermarks; I consider this my best work to date and I don't want it getting stolen. Also, it's marked "Advanced Critique Discouraged" because I spent probably about 30-40 hours on this over the last week, and I really don't want to deal with nitpicking just now.

Prints coming soon.
