Description
This little fellow slowly developed into a real character during roleplays. He started out as an adopted metallic white Betta Fish named Gamma, until Jake discovered he's a disguised Betta Merman and used a spell to reveal his true self.
Eventually tried drawing little Gamma. And this is the result. ^_^
He's not much longer than a foot in mermaid form (including tailfin). He is also a special breed of tame Mer-Betta, so he can't live in the wild. He holds the magic power to transform into his fish counterpart to disguise himself as a normal Betta.
For the rest, he acts just like a real betta fish. Flares with his gills when he dissaproves, doesn't like being with others of the same species (although he can live with normal bettas), makes bubblenests, and anything else you can expect from a labyrinth fish.
He also likes to blow bubbles and attach one to his necklace.
Looking for critique on the style I used. Not the character itself.

ImpactOkay, the first thing that grabbed my attention was the tiny necklace. I think that was one of the-- or if not then THE most detailed part in the whole piece.
Yes, I've seen WAY too many bettamaids around DA now; each one pretty much the same thing. I can search up "betta fish" and all this stuff is the first stuff I see. Try drawing a REAL betta fish next time.
I love your technique. The background looks great, and regular, plain, just the way to make the fish stand out even more. It is great. And I love the color you chose. It really made me want to click this. And I did.
Wow. This impacted me bigtime. I actually love bettas but I didn't really guess that some people love them as much as I do, as to create a detailed drawing, and coloring of a betta. And to take it as far as to make it half boy!
