Hi all, ok, this is the final that I worked up. Took over a year, but at least it's better than before.

Thanks Tess!
For Rosie, I wanted more of a mad look since she's onto the silverfish vs. being afraid of it. And I thought adding more books would show she's a booklover. Can you explain a bit more about the poses comment or give an example? -

@kevin-longueil Thanks Kevin! Ack! Silverfish aren't aquatic? Oh man, that really throws a wrench into this/didn't do my research. Hmm, well, I'm not sure what I'll do at this point. But thanks for that insight. And I really dig your art as well, thank you!

Hi Sarah!
Thank you! So, silverfish are known for eating paper and are enemies of books. Originally since all that I had were mermaids and silverfish, she was the only mermaid. Since taking them out, and I agree with you that it seemed a bit convuluted, I changed the wording "Rosie could't believe that the head librarian was the one responsible for the eaten books, but the answer was right in front of her". Feeback I got on that from others was that the brevity of the original was gone, so I changed her to "booklover" as there were no other mermaids. But it seems the confusion is still there.
Thanks for the input Sarah.Dan

June 2016 X was the only X who didn't care for X
Hello,
So, I really liked the art I did for that prompt last year. "Rosie McFinn is the only mermaid who didn't care for silverfish" which, is because silverfish eat books. I'm finally getting around to reworking it and want to get feedback on it. The top one is the original, and the bottom one is the new idea, which since the prompt is over, I've changed the text. I've also made the silverfish more silverfishy.
I've removed the color that I submitted so to focus on lineart. Would love to hear pro's and con's of the old and the new and what's preferred. Am totally open to all thoughts
Thanks!
Dan
