She is often now popularly described as the mermaid-goddess, from her fish-bodied appearance at Ascalon and in Diodorus Siculus, and also, as the first mermaid.a OOOOOLD draw for myths & legends... arround a year or more, i done it in very very rush, cause was dropped by other illustrator and the set was near to be on print (i hate deadlines XD)i finish it at time... but i never like the printed version so i took a time for edit this pic and do a new version.

IΒ΄m looking for inspiration on them at the moment. I have to thank you for giving me a good idea how to draw my mermaid.

I've heard of this story. I think it also has something to do with the zodiac sign pisces! She looks so beautiful and the effect with the moon just adds to that. I adore this picture. This is wonderful Genzo.

She's gorgeous, I love the pose! The..."ear fins" are my favorite part, I think.

Anyway, I love them.

her little wings look so pretty and fragile - like a faerie or something.

By the way, that moon is underwater! Arghhh!!!
