It's so fun seeing everyone's and how different they all are.

Here's my entry! She's a merMAID... with her algae-eating fish "vacuum" and jellyfish "duster".
Thanks SVS for hosting this contest! Not only did I have a lot of fun illustrating it, but it gave me inspiration for a writing prompt too!

It can be a maid, or a man, or whatever floats your boat really. It just has to be Mer.

Hi guys, my name's James. First time posting! I sketched this on paper, thinking that a mermaid should have proportionally larger hands and tail then we're used to seeing. I colored it digitally in about 20 minutes
