Tech Mermaid

This is me coloring.  Specifically trying to figure out how the hell color schemes work.  Linework was done in pencil (which my skanner always picks up as looking like crap.)  Colors in photoshop on on Intuos4.  It's not as crappy as it could be, but it could be a helluva lot better.  I skipped over texture work and just focused on color placement and simple color grades.  Also: Whenever you work on a humanoid figure ALWAYS DO THE FACE FIRST OR RISK SERIOUS WONKINESS.  I also got extremely lazy towards the end of the tail.

All that aside, she kinda looks like Splashwoman from Megaman, huh?
