Submitting my illustration for Mermay.... influenced by a quote from Hans Christian Andersen, "But a mermaid has no tears, and therefore she suffers so much more."

With a skid and a broadside -just in the nick of time, I made it. My first attempt at drawing a mermaid - I'm usually a guy and monsters kinda artist, but I'm hoping any inaccuracies re the female form will be put down to parallax errors caused by light in water, and not my bad drawing

The theme is rescue -King shrimp saved by Mermay and her crabby team
