Strawberry Banana Mermaid

Pink & Yellow is invading the sea! 8D
Done for a contest. It's my first post here and i'm already in love with the site.

The colors are a bit lighter than what I usually work with, but I still like 'em. ^-^ Pink & Yellow all the way baby! ~<3

My process:
-thumbnail sketches on paper.
-pick design and do a rough sketch in Photoshop.
-do the line art in Illustrator and export to Photoshop.
-Color! 8D
->_<
-Recolor! XD
-Finishing touches.( change line color, clean up small bits)
-Walk away for an hour or two.
-Come back and look at it. Make any changes I want.
-Flatten the file and save a final copy.
-Done! ^-^
