Oh, that's lovely! The mermaid's body is so sinuous! ♥

[minoanmiss]

I am so delighted that you like her wiggles!

I like this mermaid and the very airy quality of the whole. I was also reminded that I very much liked the climbing mermaid in an earlier entry. She reminded me of a woodpecker. (I love birds and this is a compliment.)

P.

[minoanmiss]

Oh wow, thank you! I definitely take the comparison to a tenacious intrepid woodpecker as a compliment. :D

OMG, they are actually in a bubble! (or pod)

I don't think you do BPAL, but someone reviewing a perfume there recently had a wonderful description:

friendly but slightly creepy deep-sea merfolk catching the bodies of drowned sailors, and then magically reviving them as newly-minted merfolk

and it made me think of you. https://www.bpal.org/topic/97751-asleep-in-the-deep/?tab=comments#comment-2822750

Awww, she's such a good hostess to her fairy friends. Love it.

[minoanmiss]

Friends adventuring together! :D

Such a cute, very You idea :3 I like the mermaid's design, simple and streamlined like a dolphin!

[minoanmiss]

I've been thinking more about merfolk as marine mammals (I should porbably make them plumper)

[darkmarcy]

Well, since the myth probably originates from sailors seeing seals (and beluga whales, they look like they have knees!) it is not too far out and could be an interesting direction!
