Description
Drawn over several days as part of my draw-every-day-in-July project.

I wanted to draw some creepy mermaid shit. I imagine this fisherman has been blown into icy waters to the north, with no way of getting back home, and he's heard the stories but his fresh water is gone and he's freezing to death. So when he starts to see the golden fish with women's faces... well.

Mermaid loosely based on the ningyo

I tried to make the fisherman's clothes fairly accurate. Learn more about Japanese folk textiles here
