Hello Grant! Good start here! I think the pose would work better if the mermaid were pushed more clearly into a 3/4 view — although maybe that was already your intention. Right now it feels caught between a frontal view and a 3/4 view, especially because of the center line running through the body. On top of that, the raised right arm feels a bit strange. It looks like the upper arm is moving backward, but the chest and torso aren’t following that same motion. A more natural solution would be having the upper arm point more forward while the forearm bends back instead. I think these small adjustments would help make the pose feel much more believable. Hope this helps!
