Stunning. The story that goes with it only makes it more beautiful.

Wait . . . it means, remember your mortality?! I thought it meant "Remember you must die" which is esentially the same thing . . . lesse . . .

ok . . . nd latin translator says it means "Remember to die" . . . um . . . I give up.


I think that the deviation is a very interesting mix. I've never heard of those fairy tales, but it looks interesting. A Mermaid?

Oh my, this is quite pretty. The mermaid looks almost... like she's fallen in love with the lifeless face of the man that the statue resembles, giving it a sad tint because she'll never meet him. She seems rather alone. But on the over all it's a very lovely picture, the dark and light and all the sea-hued colors are great. ^^ *fav*
Oh, and most of all I love her eyes. Even though being one color solidly they express so much. You have really managed to capture something here, whatever the sole individual sees.
