      Here is my contribution. Hope it isn't too disturbing for people (or any mermaids) Lol.

        Freshwater mermaids are often ignored in favor of their flashier saltwater cousins. This may be due to their more subtle methods of driving unwanted humans from their territory. For example, rather than luring sailors to their deaths and other such drama, trout-maids are spunky tricksters with a sense of humor.

        And if you’re thinking this doesn’t look anything like my style....you’re right. I stepped WAY out of my comfort zone this month. I have a new iPad, so I’ve been playing around with Procreate.... I’m having a lot of fun but it is SO not my thing! But I’m calling it done now because we’re heading out on vacation for all of next week and I don’t want to forget to post. So this was an enjoyable experiment but I will be heading right back to my comfort zone for awhile after this.... hooray for vectors and flat colors!

            @Lee-White My subscription ended a few days ago, so i can't really compete for this month. I just want to share with you my MerMay story I made with my Inktober2018 character. Thank you and good luck to all!
            EDIT:I have subscription now.

                @StudioLooong Great image, and I love how you draw an old person. I will take your image as reference.

                    I've been MIA a while, published my first book this year!!! Still have a lot to learn about working with digital, but these prompts are a good way to get back at it again. I love drawing, but worked for 3 days to get the colors so that I liked them. This is titled: First day of school.

                                @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!
