Artist's Comments

Okay, so :iconelcool: kinda challange me once to find the weirdest way to hide the hands and feet in my drawings, turning them into fins is pretty weird in my books :XD:

I know the colouring here sucks, I really wasn't thinking while I was colouring plus the blue I used to colour the whale (The big squareish thing is a whale... I hope.) died on me :P

And now to explain why I even drew this picture... well my little sister is going on some kind of disney crazy and I was thinking "How can they make a mermaid seem like good creatures? They were man-eaters in the greek mythology!" So I wanted to draw a scene that might be a bit more logical and this is what came out, don't ask me why, it just did.
When I showed it to my friends they asked me why she had no cheast, well, how do you expact some-one to be a quick swimmer if they have a huge cheast?! Plus fish don't have any cheast to speak of and she's part fish, therefore, she shouldn't have huge breasts.
That and I just felt like it.

Hmmm... if humans have swimming races do mermaids (And mermen) have running-on-land races?

:D I think I should work on her charcter some more and maybe start writing some-thing for her, any idea of a name for her crawling?
Nameless mermaid: And make it good or else...!:shakefish:

It actually happened today in Art History lesson!
A question was asked, and one of us who was sleeping, woke up, answered so we can move on and went back to sleep :D.

Luba, after my stepmother, who failed miserably at stepmother. She always wore a very similar facial expression, and was really a "cold fish".
*gets smacked on the head with a fish*

Ok, ok! Ugh... there's a water goddess whose name may fit, Blibdoolpoolp - how about that?

Hehe :XD: I had better! At the start of last year my grammar teacher asked me a question from what we were meant to do us homework, only I didn't do it and got all nervous but manged to answer it right. Since then until the end of the year she didn't ask me one question and on the parent teacher night she told my mum she doesn't even know what I sound like! She thought that I was about to burst into tears when she asked me a question and was afraid of saying anything to me after that :lol:... but really, any-time I talk in class some-one has to do some-thing like "*Le gasp* She CAN talk!" it gets a bit annoying.

:XD: I think I'll stick with Luba ^^;...
Mermaid: WHAT?! I do NOT wanted to be named Luba!!! I don't work in a supermarket!!!
me: O__O;; fine fine! I'll name you Libithia.
Mermaid: Hmm... with Libi as a nickname? Well okay I guess...
Me: Okay, now we have to run away quickly before she gets angry again.

I think she'll get on well with Mica, the demi-semi-god of underwater creatures and bad luck =P

Nah, but they do usually gasp when they say it :D...
I can't wait until one of them finds out I can sing as well, then they will REALLY go into shock :XD:
