Description


Catching ladies is my delight 
So I go fishing by shiny night 
Doesn't matter black or blond 
I throw my worm into the pond

Some are bigger some are small 
I don't care I catch them all

Water water in the sea 
Bring your creatures up to me 
I pull them up release my spawn 
Fish On!

Water water soaky cloud 
Help me get your creatures out 
Let them come release my spawn 
Fish On!

Water water in the sea 
Let your mermaids all be free 
I get it out release my spawn 


Nope, that's not the new intro theme of Pokémon, but a song of this... very special LINDEMANN Album Skills in Pills.
My feelings about this album are quite mixed, but among others, the song Fish On is stuck in my head! La la la la 

Whenever I hear this song, I have a very specific image in my mind:
Till and Peter standing in the night on a rainy rock which is near the sea and the waves beat violently against it.
The whole picture has such a view that you can be seen at the same time what happens on land and underwater, you know what I mean?
Underwater swimming several mermaids panicked arout a single mermaid, which has a fishing hook in her mouth and can't swim away.
On land, Till stands there with a fishing rod and try full enthusiasm to take the mermaid out of water. (Actually, as on the official artwork)
Beside him stands Peter with a baton in his hand and just beating an already extracted Mermaid unconscious, so she can't longer defend.
And next to her are a few other unconscious mermaids, their arms hanging from the rocks and blood is flowing into the sea.

Well, to may convert such a large motive I need already a giant canvas and a lot better painting skills. Bucktooth 
Therefore, I took this comprehensive idea and have it adapted to my to disposal standing skills.

What emerged: one mermaid, one fishing hook, no Till, not Peter and no epic semi water semi land view. :P (Lick) 

But I don't want to complain, I just limited myself to create a good, though not particularly spectacular painting,
instead to shit a terrible implementation of a too difficult scene, which then just frustrates me. Stare 
I will also make the full extent of my idea in the future, may be just years!
Finally, it's not the first time that my "Kopfkino" overwhelmed my skills and I have to simplify it,
but someday I will hopefully no longer need! :D (Big Grin) 

But now, a few words about the image, it was quite difficult to achieve the desired colors and shades.
You have to know, I only have five large acrylic tubes, blue, yellow, red, black and white, just the absolutely necessary colors.
Although this saves money, it's a big disadvantage that it's very difficult to paint a proper color gradient and shades,
especially if I have something in the foreground, to which I have paint around. Eye Twitch 

Here is a little exercise, which was much easier to paint, so completely without Mermaid.
Actually, the final image should have the same lighting conditions, but I just don't again managed it that way. Shrug 

And as for the mermaid in particular, I was pretty torn between creepy and preety.
I hope I could reasonably illustrated both and yes, I have deliberately painted she topless.
Anyone who has seen the music video, will understand me. XD 
Actually, I find that in this picture a filter is unnecessary, but I wouldn't risk a strike.
It's pretty funny how there is a difference between topless men and topless women,
but I don't want now provoke feminism debate here.^^


Acrylics and a little Colored Pencils on A4 Bristol Paper.
