Climbing, for a mermaid, is a bit hard. It's ungraceful. Unattractive. And mermaids want to be loved, even if at least 50% of them want to be loved so you'll drop your guard and be easy prey.
Still, she clung there to the side of the rocks, wondering what had led her up here.

You know, Mermaids are my favorite supernatural entity so the concept of a whole month about them really speaks to me but, as an adult with mental disorders that often combine into what amounts to hyperactive hyperfixation on one thing trying to do the 'perfect' mermaid pic/showcase I think became something super intimidating and in trying to mitigate that by waiting on it I instead ended up missing a window. Oops! 😅
I'll just have to do better *next* year but in the meantime there's this which I'm actually glad I was able to pull together in time 😉

Happy close of #mermay everyone!!
It started out life as an illustrated letter "S". Kinda just came back to it time and again and doodle on it. Still not sure if it's done.
Given that mermaids are an endangered species, you are lucky to see just one of them. Some people might go their entire lives and never see one. Others, like the people on the beach last Saturday, got an unforgettable sight of *two* mermaids at the same time.
Mer-sisters, perhaps? The bottom halves match, that's for sure.

Strobist details: I had two bare Vivitar 285HV's on stands, one to the left and one to the right, zoomed in. I also had Ethan moving the left-side one around because we needed to work fast while she was getting cold and wet. All of this triggered by a Phottix Ares.
As Ariel from The Little Mermaid showed us, some merfolk are known to be fond of having collections of knick knacks that they find around the ocean, especially when they are shiny crystals or gems!
Hence, for the ‘Pink’ theme for day 15 of #mermaydg2018 , we see a beautiful mermaid who loves to display her favorites pink gems from her collection at all times, so she chooses to wear them as accessories, complimenting the pinks in her tail!
Another Mermay 2018 entry. There are parts of this I'm proud of and other parts I hate. I have forgotten so much from art school and I have no idea what I'm doing sometimes. This is an unhealthy mix of painterly and comic style and it isn't working. I am mildly happy with the tail and the hair. For some reason this is darker on android devices. Drawn on an iPad pro in procreate .
It is said that Merfolk are very fast swimmers, and the only way to catch a photo of a mermaid is to be very quick with your camera, unless of course the mermaid or merman decides to pose for the camera them self!
So, for the ‘Swim’ theme for day 11 of #mermaydg2018 , I present to you a unique photo of a mermaid swimming to yet another treasure hunt, with perfect hair and a shimmery tail!
I kinda puttered out there for a bit but I couldn't let today pass without drawing one last mermaid. Incomplete - again- but a mermain none the less ;)
So the big drawing thing for May is Mermay . Blah. Mermaids aren't really my thing. And the prompt for the 2nd was precocious, which kind of made me cringe.
I went with a mermaid type that is more likely to force its thumbs into your eyes than anything else.
This was kind of inspired by those gopro videos of sharks chasing bait. Sorry if the breasts bug you, i was going more for monster than girl next door and monsters don't usually wear clothes.
Overall, I'm still kind disappointed with the image but it is time to move on.
Crawling out was a little unfortunate. It ruined the look. But then, as she laid there on the wet sand, she rolled, made eye contact. His heart skipped a beat. He took a step closer. Then another. He was almost in reach.
And then she jumped for his throat and sunk her teeth in
Mermaids might be cute, they might be endangered, but they are still dangerous.

Fish. Shells. Fish. Jellyfish friend. Fish friend. Crab. How the land-dwellers really need to regulate sonar better because of how loud some of the oil discovery sonar is. Lobster. Octopus hugs.
I mean, octopi are like puppies with 8 arms to hug!
Fish. Boats. Ripping hearts out of men and eating them. Octopus hugs. Puffer fish friend.

Thank you for your purchase from Leksana ❤️
John William Waterhouse's The Siren was the inspiration for this latest fine art recreation.
I was camming around to fine tune some things, and this angle of a mermaid against a starry sky was breathtaking. It's not often you get to see a famous painting from a different angle!
Since the original is a little vague about whether she had fins or feet, and I was set on doing Mermaids for MerMay, I did one of each, plus a bonus shot of that poor sailor's final view.
The Siren:
Hair: Tableau Vivant - Bent Over
Skin: Frosty Scales by Studio Lady Lita
Tail: :Open Mer Tail
Lute: gift from Medieval Fantasy Fantasy
The Sailor:
Hair: No Match - No Sweat.
