          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! 🙂

                      Since this contest is listed on the SVS site with more details I thought maybe the Contest Rules should be listed here as well:

                      https://www.svslearn.com/news/2017/5/16/mermaid-or-merman-or-merwhatever-contest

                      Contest Rules:

                      It can be a maid, or a man, or whatever floats your boat really. It just has to be Mer.
                      Post your best MerThing in the SVS Forum (if you don't already have a user account for the forum, you will need to create one). Look for the thread titled NEW MONTHLY CONTEST!! MERMAIDS! (MERMEN!)

                                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 minutes0_1495596620590_Enlight1.jpg

                                      @jameswulfe I think it needs to be a jpg or png. It looks like yours is a PDF which is for print usually. Hope that helps! Nice mermaid! I dig it.
