Three Themed Mermaids (click to enlarge)
Each 2.5″ x 3.5″ Copics, fine liners, white gel pen
I would like to present what may be a new preoccupation, and that is the “themed mermaid”. Inspired by a “Themed Mermaids” swap at illustratedatcs.com, here we have a Vampire Debutante Mermaid, a 1970s Vampire Mermaid and a Harlequin Mermaid.
My only regret in this bunch is the unbroken highlight lines on the Harlequin. The Sakura Gellyroll pen does not scratch off with a fingernail like Signo Uniball. (But it is a much thinner and equally bright line. I think.)
These three creatures are numbers 176 – 178 of the 200 Maidens. Meanwhile, the Spirit Masks are now collected in their own set. (And I have two more to post, for next time.)
Thanks for dropping in! I seem to be having trouble with a consistent schedule now that the January and February challenge months are done. Also, work is busier. Blargh.

Love the vampire mermaid. Great work!!!
gosh, these are creepy :) but great too ;)
Fantastic!! They are both beautiful yet ghoulish.
BTW – I took a look at your 178 maidens and they are truly amazing……some of them I had not seen at all! What are you planning on doing w them when you reach 200? SHould really try to get them published……
Wheee! A fun departure!
The First Vampire is my fav….love her hair :) They are all very detail and unique. I’m having trouble staying focus on my art right now too… just putzing around all willy nilly :(
Not sure which one is my favorite this time… maybe the harlequin although I love the Debutante’s eyes!
I see your point about the highlight on the harlequin, but it just makes her look wet and shiny, and that seems right for a mermaid. Love your Afghan Hound too!
A vampire debutante! What an idea. Who would her date be?
Someone (or something) ghoulish, most likely! :)
So very different from your usual but you continue to amaze with your imagination! Love, Mom
