looking good! if i may I would like to suggest a slightly different angle. The elements of your illustration I love the most are the pirates face and the Mermaids form. If it were my piece i would try to emphasize that more. One way I would experiment with is possibly making her more bioluminescent. Since she is fantasy why not go crazy. The you can use this to really make the best parts pop a bit more. This also help deal with the similar sun kissed skin tones you have and lets face it, mermaids would probably need to use SPF 120 :)
Forgive the crude paintover but by making the mood of the piece slightly darker (say perhaps dusk to add bit more drama to this already dramatic scene) then we can really show off a nice other-worldy glow and then we get to underlight the pirates face for a more ambitious lighting attempt and to bring more.
but just a suggestion, looking forward to your progress here.
