I based this design on illustrations from the Shahnameh…. But I didn’t include the feather on her crown because I was running out of room. Her tail is loosely inspired by sturgeons.

All my old mermaid sketches in one place. Mermaids are really tricky, because they have a lot of scales. On all of these, they are all scales and fish from the chest down. My old style was just pure black and white, no shading.
