Woman? What woman? That’s just a bunch of seaweed!

This mermaid was drawn on the spur of the moment, trying to emulate a flowing, dreamy style that I did once before of a dryad and a swanlady and a peacock – all three in one being, connected to each other. So, in this, you can see the fish, perhaps, without the girl. Her hair and arms should look like seaweed, and I tried to give her face a bit of a haunting, otherworldly expression. Unfortunately, I don’t think my skills are quite up to that.

After some deliberation, I put this in Zela’s world. Why not mermaids? They can be shy secretive creatures if they don’t play a large role in the story, which I’m sure they won’t.
