SciFi and Fantasy Art Leera by Tiia Löytty


	Not quite what you'd call a traditional mermaid. If someone could explain to me why mermaids should have noses, I'd be grateful. If not, enjoy my hopefully more realistic merperson ;) Anywho, Leeras are the distant cousins of Leneas (like apes to men. Though that's not so distant, if you get my point. Haha. Aren't I funny. sigh)

15 Nov 2000	JC	Loading... Traditional...baaahhh!! You've added features they should have in the first place. The fins on her back and the webbing between her fingers should be the norm! Tiia Löytty replies: "Thank you, I agree! Why do mermaids have a nose? They hardly would need it underwater ;D"
1 Jun 2001	Chrisos	Loading... LoL...ya, why DO they have a nose? Hehe. I really like how this came out! Her tail is cool, and i'm sorry, but would mermaids like "The little mermaid" really live forever underwater without gills? hehe ^_^. Great job!
22 Apr 2002	Anonymous	Loading... Everyone's entitled to a nose! She looks like a mummy. Great job on the basic lines! Tiia Löytty replies: "I repeat: what use would she have for a nose underwater? Hmm.. I have never seen a mummy with a fish tail. "
10 Feb 2003	Nana cole	Loading... I dont think she looks like a leera. When I think of my daughter I named Leera, and why I named her that was because I believe its a pretty name. I dont believe the name Leera suits your mermaid. If it was a pretty mermaid then the name Leera would of been suitable. Im not putting your art work down, If I were you and could draw like you, I would of named her spike. Tiia Löytty replies: "Spike? I don't think Spike would have sounded very imaginative And she IS pretty, actually a make-up model in her world... "
1 Mar 2003	Nana	Loading... Your mermaid is not of the traditional style. And your right about me not having a imagination. Spike was just a joke. You are a lot more qualifyied in your art work than I am. Leera the name " in my own imigination has a hole different look.
4 Apr 2003	Anonymous	Loading... i just stumbled onto this drawing when my friend suggested the name Leera to me for a story i was working on, i decided to do a search, and came upon this. i just had to say that it is a beautiful drawing, i think the best art is the kind that veers away from what tradition dictates...i agree that your Leera definitely looks as though she would survive underwater much better than what societies creation of mermaids would. Its Gorgeous, i would love to see more stuff like it.
7 Mar 2004	Anonymous	Loading... Its great, looks like a mermaid should, without all those human characteristics that they dont need underwater..Have you ever tried an aquatic kangaroo? I tried that once, it actually looks pretty funny
27 Mar 2004	Taro Katajisto	Loading... hmm... Reminds me of the "mermaids" in the PS2 game Primal. Nice pic
18 Feb 2006	Kestrel	Loading... Mermaids have noses becausewe expect them to. In Kestrel-ese this means good job erasing it!
