European Mermaid

Sirena europaealis, a mermaid found mainly in deep lakes of central and northern europe, occasionally in Canada as well. Its body has a greenish colour, its most prominent features are its yellow eyes and bright red hair. It uses the latter as a means to attract small fish, its favourite food. Occasionally it also feeds on shells and water snails.


Weeellllll, I started a new series (another one), and it's about mermaids. This is the first one I did (I actually wanted to draw a pretty, Ariel-like mermaid but then... this happened. Then I wanted to make her a deep sea mermaid but she wasn't creepy enough for that, so she ended up the way she is now).
