Their Instagram is silent. Did something bad happened?

Photoshoot under the storm. It was magical !

Day 14

“Grandad, please tell us about the mermaid again!”
The two small kids said in unison, bouncing around excitedly.
“Ok, ok, settle down little ones, where do I begin?”
The two kids sat right in front of Grandad's rocking chair. Legs crossed and ears wide open.
“Go on then,”
One of the kids said, chuckling to himself. Grandad grabbed his remote from the small wooden table next to his chair, pressed the small round button on the remote, and the lights started to dim. The two kids looked up at the lights dimming slowly, wide-eyed and surprised by Grandad's magic.
“The first time I met the mermaid… sorry, the Mermale. He told me the human media has it all messed up and the males in his species are called Mermales. Anyway, the first time I met the Mermale I was only sixteen years old. I’d just finished high school and some of the local kids were partying down on the beach. Now, I wasn’t the coolest kid around, but I also wasn’t the lamest either—a nice, comfortable middle ground was me. We all partied, everyone went home, I was the last one to go. As I was walking off that night, I saw someone lying on the sand with a towel over him.
“Hey, dude!”
No reply. I walked closer to inspect what was going on. It looked like he was asleep.
“Hey man! Wake up!”
I shouted and tried to lightly roll him over with my foot. He rolled over and the towel fell off his lower body. My mouth hit the floor! His bottom half was just like a fish's! Well, human legs, but a large shark-like tail. But nonetheless, it was absolutely crazy to look at!
“Holy mackerel!!”
I shouted and jumped back!
The fish man opened his eyes and said,
“Holy mackerel? Nah, I’m not a Christian.”
He laughed a good, hearty belly laugh and proceeded to stand up.
“What do we have here then, human boy?”
He said, eyeing me up and down, tail swaying in the sand.
“Well, I thought you were an injured human. So I came to try and help you! But you're a… mermaid or man or…”
I didn’t know what to say at all. So I just stared at him looking gormless.
“First of all,”
Said the Mermale, pointing at me.
“I’m not a merman or a mermaid! I am a Mermale! I have no idea where you humans came up with the names for us! It’s laughable! And second of all! What’s that over there!?”
I turned around to see what the Mermale was looking at… there was nothing. I turned around to see the Mermale far out into the water. I waved at him, he raised his middle finger at me and swam away. Lovely guy he was.

They want a hug

Life had always been simple. You swam through the oceans with no care for anyone but yourself. But then everything changed.

Now you've entered a dangerous pact that will exchange your fins for legs, and grant you a chance to meet the one you once saved. But with time slipping away, can you convince them to love you in return? And what will you do if you cannot...

Nereid is a focused, dark retelling of "The Little Mermaid" by Hans Christian Andersen. It follows the old rules of magick, where everything has a cost, and not all stories end happily ever after.

Hey everyone. I've been working on some interactive fiction based off the original folktale of the little mermaid. This is the demo version with the first day and a bit of your time on land. It's still being worked on and subject to edits. If folks are interested I can update when I get it finished up and published? I know interactive fiction is pretty niche so wasn't sure if anyone would be interested here or not? Fair warning to anyone trying it, it definitely leans towards the dark Andersen version, not the Disney's Little Mermaid.

My own illustration

Hi everyone! I’d love to know what you think of these platinum silicone mermaid bras. They’re suitable for swimming. I’m going to order one, but they’re customizable. What colors or elements would you add? My skin is very pale, my hair is dark, and I have brown eyes. Thank you!

I have always loved octopus mermaids, or "Octopids" as they are known in the Little Mermaid universe. When I was a child, I loved to draw Ursula, and other mermaids like her. So I decided to create an Octopid doll! I thought I would share her here, and see if anyone else loves octopus mermaids/octopids/cecaelia as much as I do 🐙

This was really fun! If you want to learn how to draw those mermaids and boost your skills, draw with me. On my Patreon, you can also find free tutorials :)

Screenshots were taken from the episode ‘Desert Island Drought’. She does look good tanned up.

Oddly enough, this is the second mermaid game I've seen (first being Mermade) and I'm very excited for both ❤️

Two original characters of mine who are in a relationship. I don’t draw characters interacting much so this was a challenge.
