Just a wicked little mermaid, perhaps a northern cousin of the lionfish. :3; She was loads of fun to doodle, and I'm terribly fond of her. Watercolors and brown Micron, 2.5' x 3.5' on cardstock.

The original is available for sale at my Etsy shop.

OMG - where are all the comments?!? This is the greatest thing I’ve seen in a while. I love all of it - the colors, the face and body; the elements of the style all sit so comfortably together.

:-) Diana M Chien replies: "The day you commented was the first day that it was uploaded, sooo... haha. In any case, thank you so much! I really wanted to go with an old-fashioned fairy tale look for this, and was very happy with how it turned out."

Wonderful. Old- fashioned fairy tale look well achieved. Reminds me of "Water Babies". If I could draw like this I’d be more than happy - you deserve a good stiff dose of ecstacy.
