      Here is my Mermay rendition. Such fun ideas on the forum. I was in a robot mood, so I went with it. Thanks!

            @StudioLooong The paintings of the cats behind her are fantastic! Especially the unicorn cat fish! Its also refreshing to see an older mermaid instead of a young whipper snapper! Love it!! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:

                This mermaid is having to fend off a hungry octopus!

                              Yesterday I played with procreate(usually using only for sketching), I am always painting clean,with clean lines and everything in Photoshop, but not yesterday, this was very raw, sketchy and unclean drawing with colors and I liked it and had lot of fun doing it...it was difficult for me not to correct everything..because I never draw in such style...

                                My piece for this month's art contest: "Message in a bottle"
                                This was such a fun challenge πŸ™‚ I seized the opportunity to create something new for my portfolio.
                                It's the first time I really mixed traditional and digital together and I liked working that way!

                                Good luck everyone - it was fun to watch all of your entries! πŸ™‚

                                  @Sarah-LuAnn I don't know your usual style, but I do like your troutmaid very much. The trout surrounding her are beautiful, and I really like that the freshwater mermaids are finally getting the attention they deserve πŸ™‚

                                          Mermaid tales have many common motifs, but to me the most important one is the moment of discovery. Finding something both strange and familiar that exists in a world we know little about and cannot ourselves survive in. Thanks!Underwater_Discoverykb.jpg
