NSFW-mermaid nudity-Seeking some advice and critiques

[Elmst]

Allot of crits on this piece, be sure not to loose your original focus. First the light coming out of the top of the head is used only by deep water fish, those fish live were there is no light and have adapted to their environment, this took some research and I am sure led you to your original monochromatic color scheme, stick with it! It is Ok to add some color but keep the piece feeling monochromatic, try loosing the back rim lighting and increase the shadow, make it feel like the creature is coming out of the dark, this would be much more dramatic. You may need to zoom in a bit.

On a technical note your lower teeth are not at the correct angle, your teeth should align with the jaw.

I would loose the blood, you have no visual story to support it.

Great piece!
