CBinnsIllustration: Thank you! Love what you did with the tail, looks much more dynamic! I went ahead and implemented your feedback and the image is all the better for it. Thanks for the tips as well, very much appreciate it!
darktiste: Yes, this mermaid isn't playing, haha. I like the contrast of the fish with the mermaid, so I decided to keep them. Also helps with the composition I think. The tip regarding the colors was incredibly helpful, implemented it late during the painting process and it looks much more convincing, thank you for that!
Leo Ki: I think it's a tradition now that I paint a mermaid at least once every May, it's quite fun! :) Glad you find the mermaid frightening! :D

I went ahead and painted the image while implementing the feedback received. Overall I'm fairly satisfied with how it turned out. There's still time for minor tweaks and such if necessary, so if something looks significantly off please feel free to let me know! Below is the final followed by the steps for those interested.

Next up I started on a new personal piece, very much inspired by the artwork of Magic The Gathering so I wanted to achieve a similar feel with this piece. The figure's was referenced from Grafit Studio as well. Any feedback on the sketch before proceeding with some color tests would be most appreciated!
