<sub>Underwater fire burns
Through passion from a kiss
Taken to his ocean realm
Floating in a bliss..


Words by my dear friend Bart</sub>

completely painted by hand using a reference of me and ~Ed-Selecta. Used some texture here and there therefore misc category. will post details later.

I've been dying to show this to you guys but I wanted it perfect so I kept working and working until I got this result. I have a story to tell, something I didn't reveal to you when I submitted "Only In My Dreams"
As you may have noticed these go together well. A short version of the story of which I wish to write a book some day:

The girl (which is me ) is obsessed with the ocean. One fine day when she is going for a swim she decides to take a dive and look at the creatures under the surface. Little did she know that she was swimming right above a handsome merman, prince of the ocean no less. When he laid eyes on her he was just as fascinated by her and she by him and they fell in love.
Sadly they could never live happily ever after for of course she was human and he was to be king of the oceans.
She visits him as much as possible to share a passionate kiss below the surface.

People have asked me about "Only In My Dreams" .. "but he is already your boyfriend?! so it's not a dream right?". Well now you know it had nothing to do with being with my boyfriend but with the fact that the character dreams of being forever with her beloved Merman.
I hope these will be the illustrations for my book some day, till then these images will have to tell you the story.
