So last year I decided that I want to enter a piece of art into the state fair this year and I just can't think of any ideas that I want to do!

First idea I had was like a fantasy parade, but it would be too much for me to do. I still like the idea and want to do it one day.. but considering that I can't draw animals & other things very well.. I wouldn't be able to draw the picture I see in my head.

2nd idea I had was a mermaid swimming with those big fat goldfish. Lots of white, black and red-orange, BUT I saw that another artist had something sorta similar. Their mermaid had it's hair turning into koi. Even though my idea is somewhat different, it's still too similar to the other piece so I don't want to do it anymore.


Anyways.. blah blah blah... I really need help thinking of something I could do. Something that's going to 'pop'. It's like all of the other ideas I have are just too mundane. I just need help jump starting an idea for a pic. Suggestions on the theme, mood, colors, what the chars should be, etc etc..

I know I want the picture to be fantasy based.
Not too complicated.
I'm decent with drawing humanoids (mainly females).. so that would be a good central sorta figure. Animals would be alright as well so long as I could find some good reference pics.

And yeah... lol that's all I can think of :P

So any help would be appreciated!

I think the mermaid idea's pretty cool! How about a mermaid in a fish tank ... at first glance it looks just like a "normal" mermaid but when you look closer you realise there are fish tank things around her - like those little plastic castles and fake divers, etc :)

Edit: I just google image searched "koi mermaid" out of interest, and found this lovely painting! http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/j/i/j ... d.jpg.html (slightly off topic, but thought it could be inspirational)
