Mermaid mad

[logansrogue]

I've been working on my original novel, and as such, have gone mermaid mad. I'm drawing heaps of them, and well - it's fun! :) I've been listening to Smoke City's Underwater Love, which is like, THE THEME of my story. :) I always imagine Miriam's feet walking in the sand, and then a flash to waves, and surfer boys leaping into them, and then her feet again, then up her legs as she's walking down the beach, introducing her slowly... She's like a mermaid herself, with pale skin and dark dark hair (imagine Anna Paquin), and there's flashes of the kiosk selling hot chips and ice creams, and people on the beach, and then the breeze whipping the dunes... :) yeah. That's my story. *hugs it*

Here's some pencil sketches I've done:

Really love the cheeky one!

My friend invisibly_inked just updated with a mermaid picture too... funny that! Two sets of mermaids across the continents.

The Muses must have a lot of mermaid ideas in the aether! *giggles*

My fav's the Mermaid Pod. I love the poses so much!

Will you colour one of these... maybe...? *puppy dog eyes* They're so great!

I'm currently colouring the cheeky mermaid :)

Cool! I can't wait to see the final result. I love the way you colour skin. It always looks so realistic. *purrs*

These sketches are awesome. Some very sexy mermaids...I hope you post some finished art from them.

This sounds/looks very interesting. I like all the drawings, but marooned sailor encounters a mermaid is my favorite. Will you be posting some of this story here? I'ld like to read some of it. Keep up the good work.

You are soooo talented. *fangirls you again* :) Could you send some of your talent my way? I'd settle for some of your ability to write snogs :D

The mermaid-and-sailor pic is lovely, and that abyssal mermaid is very unusual. I liked it.
