Mermaid Consoles the Unicorn



"A mermaid AND a unicorn? Are you MAD?" Perhaps. I've seen this theme explored by other artists but I found their compositioning awkward, understandable when trying to pair a tall land creature with a legless, sea-dwelling one. I wanted to throw my hat in the ring. I find it difficult to clothe mermaids, seems too Disney-ey, not "realistic" (because as we all know mermaids ARE real. *cough*)
