Mermaid
Illustration part of a long and exciting article by Reedsy: "30 Mythical Creatures (and Where to Find Them)". Illustrating some of the creatures in the repertoire is a secondary task to improve an article with significant traffic that we will do little by little, in small free moments or between more relevant tasks. On this occasion, using a minimalist palette of black and yellow, based on Discovery's corporate image.
More creatures soon! In the meantime, you can read the original article.
"Presumably invented in the parched, sun-baked minds of ancient sailors, Mermaids are the human/fish hybrids that rule the underwater kingdom. Their mythos has since been informed by Greek sirens, and they are seen as both menaces and potential lovers to those who travel by sea." ???♀?
