Hii!

I'm still here! I haven't forgotten about this place (although art making has been rather slow lately).

And to show you that I can do more than just retoot posts from my buddy @Blahmage I just had the (semi) spontaneous idea to post all of my merfolk art before Mermay is over.

You see, mermaids used to be my go-to subject whenever I couldn't think of anything else to draw. Probably because you don't have to think about how those pesky legs connect to the torso :D Also blue. So much blue!

Time to start with the ancient artifacts. Those were made, I believe, on postcard sized watercolour paper (celullose, of course, nothing fancy for me yet). And by that I mean an actual postcard watercolour block from Fabriano that someone gifted me back then.

And yes, those dates do say 2002 and 2006 😁 Told you, we were going far, far back.

One of them has a broken neck, that poor thing 😂

More coming soon!

I totally forgot about this masterpiece by Baby Sikard! 😂

I must've been seven or eight when I drew this and I remember being mighty proud of it.

Of course I was obsessed with the Disney movie, like most little girls back then. At some point my VHS tape disappeared never to be seen again. All that is left is the case. But don't worry, I'm over it 😆

(Sorry about the hand in the photo, I tried my best to avoid any glare.)

Continuing with the mermaid theme, back in 2009 I started my first (and only) venture into ATC/ACEO cards thanks to @Blahmage . What started as only two cards turned into a whole series of basically illustrations for the fairytale "The Little Mermaid" by Hans Christian Andersen.

The first three are about the mermaid fantasizing about the world of humans, seeing the prince's ship and saving the prince from the shipwreck.
