Another lovely piece, you surely don't disappoint! I really like your mythological creature series, and the fact that you're using yourself to portray your own ideas. For that, 5/5 for Vision.

The composition itself is well balanced, partly due to the colour choices, which seem to mainly be blue (for the water) and oranges (skin, fish), which counter each other nicely. I also like the fact the you're offset to one side, and demonstrating the ability on the other, it works well.

My few words of wisdom (if they could be considered that) would be that the writing on your arm, although nice, looks a little too quickly pasted on, as it doesn't follow the curvature of your arm. The bottom layer of writing looks very good, but maybe the top layer is a little too black? Reducing the opacity just a smidge might have looked better, I think. It still really adds to the piece, and I like how some of the characters are lit up.

The fish swimming through the hoop looks good, but the others seem too small to me? It might just be me, but it gives them a bit of of a slapped on look as well. The sizing of the water effects gives the same sort of impression - one would imagine that for the details of the water to look that small, you'd be a lot smaller in comparison. Realistically speaking, the drops would look bigger and the spray wouldn't have such fine details. But, you could be a giant? Since it's mythological...~

In any case, these points aren't really problematic and I'm just digging to find things to criticise, anyway - it's still a great piece overall. Provides a nice contrast to the Ifrit one, too. Keep it up, I'm excited to see more!
