Level 12, Fathom 10

A beautiful Asian mermaid is playing video games underwater in the ocean. She pretends to play with a discarded video game controller and her fish friends simulate the video game in an abandoned monitor. A dolphin keeps her company and clown fish dance around her as she relaxes on a bed of living coral. A lion fish is the boss creature and he challenges a seahorse. This is another submission for Exotique 4. I thought it would be funny to have a mermaid playing video games under water. Unfortunately her controller is broken, so her friends humor her by pretending to be the game. One annoying fish tells her how to play while the other points to the correct buttons. I thought painting her tail like latex would make her sexy. My husband came up with the title for the painting, being an avid gamer, he was very proud of the name. Looking back at this piece I probably should have painted some air bubbles, maybe some light rays and make her skin tone cooler. This painting was printed in Heavy Metal as well as SQP's "Steampunk Rising: the Art of Sandra Chang-Adair".
