            Here's my mermaid who has been part of an illustration series of Zodiac Mermaids I made. She's the unofficial sign who represents the Ophiuchus :).

              Omg this is my first mermaid for Mermay and it's for this contest! But it was an interesting idea to draw something new after being busy with school πŸ˜ƒ

              I feel a bit insecure, there are so many pretty draws here... ❀

                          Mermaids are naturally musically gifted and it IS possible to play flute under water.

                                      Throwing the towel in on this one and going to submit it. I will also work on getting all the images here into a slide show so you can see them all without scrolling. Hoping to get that up by this evening. Good Luck everyone!! Tons of great work here.

                                          Here's my mermaid. I inked this a while ago and finally got around to coloring it. Great contest and I'm loving all this art!
