darktiste: Me neither, lol. Initially I went for a daytime scene but I felt the values worked better with a night scene. It allowed me to push colors more as well. I revised the face a bit, made the chin look more natural and toned down the reddish skin tones on her cheeks, hopefully it looks more natural now. Thanks for the paintover as well, I really dig the shooting stars you added so I went ahead and incorporated it into the painting!
Crowbit: Thank you! It felt good to go for more saturated colors as that's within my comfort zone. I feel I can get away with more saturation during a night scene, just looks better that way which is probably why I went with a night scene in the end. Glad you enjoy the details as well!

Went ahead and updated the mermaid, did some minor refinements to her face and added some shooting stars in the background for a more fantastical feel. I feel it works quite well. I think I'll call it done now unless there is something major off, so do let me know if that's the case! Here is the current image:
Next up a new illustration, began on the sketch quite some time ago but just finished it today. The character design was inspired by the 'Diablo' game that came out recently (have yet to play it but I love the artwork for it!). I had a reference for the general pose which I did my best to recreate for the figure, you can view that here. I have a strong idea for the colors as well, but I just wanted to drop the sketch here before I begin the painting process for any feedback, so please feel free to let me know any input! Below is the sketch:
