Mermaids, Unicorns, and Siberian Tigers in Outer Space

I figured I'd like to sit down and get a cool scene painted rather than post the usual crap I subject you guys to. So I've chosen to do an underwater scene with hot mermaids, manly divers, and the coral cave they love. Here's the concept although I may change a few things on the mermaid and I may also add another diver or two. Still not too sure of the overall size I want the characters to be in respects to the scene. And even now as I look at it the character orientation is ridiculously boring.



And here's the (mostly) cleaned up pencil of the scene. I had thought of inking it but since my focus is on painting here I figure the pencils are fine. God I hate drawing layouts.
