Hello community! I hope you are very well, today I really wanted to continue a drawing that I started a couple of days ago for my entry to this week's @splinterlands art contest, this time I wanted to choose Mermaid Healer, it's a card that I thought was quite complicated to represent, however, this week I wanted to try and see if I could capture the idea I had in mind on my canvas, I have never drawn any type of mermaid, it is the first time I have made a creature like this, luckily I think it came out much better than I expected, I worked several days on this piece, with a lot of patience.
I chose this card because I wanted to challenge myself, as I read Mermaid Healer is an expert healer in removing curses, a mermaid with her qualities caught my attention, she really seemed super cool, but my idea was to make her look in a different way I wanted a lighter skin, a different color palette, an aquatic background full of fantasy tones and changing her outfit to a more sensual one, normally mermaids are characterized by being beautiful (sometimes) and I wanted to mix that theory a bit with this card, I hope you like the result.
I really thought a lot about what caes I could choose, until I saw this mermaid again, I immediately began to make my sketch for it, it took me several hours thinking about how to represent it, I looked for several reference images to be able to make my own tail because as I mentioned, I never I had painted a mermaid, it was not so complicated to make the tail, but I still had doubts if it would really look good and I was very afraid to start painting and do it wrong LOL, in a new layer I began to paint the skin for it I chose some skin tones dark and desaturated with a pale blue hue, I was applying the base colors and in new layers blurring them until I had the shape of the face, then I painted her torso and her body, I chose to paint the tail with various shades of aqua, blue, green, orange and purple , make this mix of colors by blurring them to create a fairly good mix between the tail, paint the hair with a tone similar to that of the original card.
Work a little more on her tail to make it more realistic and add light and shadow details to the hair, paint her gloves using a light gray tone, for the background I wanted a deep sea so I applied a dark blue base tone and on a new layer I started to paint the details with different shades of blue.
I painted the crosses on her chest, and three gems on her waist, I decided to paint her scepter embedded in the surface of the sea, starting to place a base gold tone to give details later, continue working with the mermaid before finish with the background and paint the seashell on her ears.
Paint her headband with a purple diamond and continue the background adding light and dark tones to create little bumps, I added a little more sparkle on her eye, I wanted a red that would dazzle, I added a new layer with “screen” mode and highlighting different parts of her body that needed a bit of light, paint the scepter adding details with earth tones and purples, to make the background look more magical paint some points of light, finally apply a color adjustment to the whole image giving more depth and a little more of green tonality, I also applied a layer of light with a purple tone and thus highlight the scepter a little more with a light that bounces off her tail.
It was a real challenge, but I love challenges and learning new things, I hope you liked it as much as I did.

Oh my, I'd definitely want someone to heal me if they were as hot as her
Dang you made this rather nsfw
Hahahaha 😊 thanks 🤣
Thank you 🙏🏻
Woahhh. This is awesome. I love the pose, event her facial expression goes with it.
Her pose makes her cute and looking a bit helpless, however her glowing red eyes indicates some kind of danger. 😊

Thank you so much!! I love everything about this fanart and tried to do my best
The quality of the art alone is awesome. The message/vibe (don't know the exact term) being conveyed by it is complex. I love it!
