Mermay is here!

It’s been a few years since I’ve participated in this challenge but when I saw Chloe.z.art’s prompt list on Instagram and I was immediately intrigued. The first prompt is ancient Egyptian mermaid and here is my offering!

I was inspired by a lot of Egyptian art and really wanted to incorporate some of the stylistic elements and lotus themes and referencing the fashion and wigs and ah it was so fun.

Ancient Greek mermaid. The design is loosely based on a krater from the Getty museum which shows the abduction of Europa, with the monster Scylla and Triton flanking the central motive. This is one of the few "mermaid" depictions we have from Ancient Greece.

Mermay 2023

Pensive, in her finest attire On her rock she waits and yearns In the light of dawn Beware of lost sailors Who would distract her from her boredom

~

Pensive, dans ses plus beaux atours Sur son rocher, elle attend et se languit Dans la lumière du petit jour Gare aux marins perdus qui viendraient la distraire de son ennui

Inspired by a prompt list about #historicalmermay

Here's my French Medieval 🧜🏽‍♀️ 🗡 for Historical mermay prompt.

She gave me a little trouble during rendering, I couldn't decide how I wanted the color pallette to go. After a lot of tweaking I finally found something I was comfortable with. Most of the color swatches where pulled from the 'Mona Lisa' Leonard da Vanci painting that I found on Pinterest 😁

What are your go to sources for color palette inspiration? Let me know in the comments 👇🏽💜

Anishinaabe Mermaid!

This was recommended over on my TikTok! In Anishinaabe myths there are Nibiinaabe, water spirits that have human torsos and fish tails! They are also very shy and easily startled. I based this design on Anishinaabe/Ojibwa jingle dresses and rainbow trout.

All I ever wanted, was the open sea and sky, freedom from the life I always knew now all I am is haunted. As days and hours roll by all I ever think about is you.
