Based on a Shel Silverstein poem in his last book titled Everything In It. I'll edit this post later when I look back at the book to get the title of it and maybe post an excerpt from it (I'm not sure I'm allowed to post the entire thing on here since it isn't my poem though I guess if I give him credit it should be ok?)
This piece was a lot of fun working on. I had originally started this piece back at the beginning of my second year of college, but I stopped working on it for multiple reasons. It was a really neat idea that I really enjoyed though so I restarted it and I'm really happy with the outcome.
Done in: Photoshop CS6, 13 hours
EDIT:
Here's the poem by Shel Silverstien
MER-MAID
We caught a mermaid in the creek.
We keep her in the sink.
We give her worms and snails to eat
And lemonade to drink.
She washes all the pots and pans.
She scrubs 'em with her scales.
She showers 'neath the faucet tap
And tells us fishy tales.
She sings us songs, she plays Go Fish,
She's happy as can be.
But now and then we catch her cryin',
Lookin' out to sea.
