Mermaid Monday 12: Black and White Mermaid for Coloring

Click for larger version; click for the list of dolls.

So now the black and white princess has a black and white mermaid friend to play with, or a mermaid secret identity perhaps. Either way, more coloring fun for you, less work for me, something that sounds good this evening! E-mail colored creations to me, or post a link in the comments. As far as the princess goes, I love how Freyja’s rich, warm version turned out, and yeah, I can’t not like anything my husband does.

It’s nice to see someone else has jumped on the black and white band wagon. Nicely drawn. I do enjoy Mermaid Mondays.

Ah I waited all day for an update (your blog may be my latest obsession) an POOF one happens while I’m at work. I love Mermaid Monday’s! I play Second Life (an MMO, not sure if you’ve heard of it) and I play as a mermaid whenever I need a change of pace. Anyway, I made a Goldfish-ish mermaid ^///^ http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn58/renshou/mermaid2.png

Thanks everyone!

Diana, you sure are quick on the draw :P

RLC, yeah, black and white is fun! I don’t do all the cool shading like yours, but it has such a different feel to it — often details on the colored dresses change last minute, black and white demands that I be more serious and know what I’m doing :)

Freyja, such a cute mermaid :D I’ve played SL on and off, too, and I even designed some clothes although I never did much with them (owning a store, dealing with customers, etc = hassle). E-mail me your SL name if you like, and I’ll send you some of the clothes I made!

Oh, I love this idea! I will have to print it out for a little girl I know.

Phew, finally done.

I love your blog, by the way. You draw gorgeous outfits and I love your work. ^^ Plus I think the colorable ones are nice. I’ve been needing some practice.
