Since this contest is listed on the SVS site with more details I thought maybe the Contest Rules should be listed here as well:

Contest Rules:

It can be a maid, or a man, or whatever floats your boat really. It just has to be Mer.
Post your best MerThing in the SVS Forum (if you don't already have a user account for the forum, you will need to create one). Look for the thread titled NEW MONTHLY CONTEST!! MERMAIDS! (MERMEN!)

Hi guys, my name's James. First time posting! I sketched this on paper, thinking that a mermaid should have proportionally larger hands and tail then we're used to seeing. I colored it digitally in about 20 minutes

@susiart I love the water color texture! did you assemble it digitally? really cool look/style!

@jameswulfe I think it needs to be a jpg or png. It looks like yours is a PDF which is for print usually. Hope that helps! Nice mermaid! I dig it.
