Pirate and mermaid

So this just came to me on a whim to do a Capt. Jack sparrow type of character with a mermaid. It was a challenge! I didn't think I could really handle a man character. I did once before, of Jesus Christ praying in the garden but I always thought it came off cartoon-ish. This is about the same, but this is a fictional character so I thought why not. Here it is. I got a bit of tweaking to do yet. He looks too dirty.
