IF YOU WANT TO PUT THIS ON TUMBLR PLEASE REBLOG THIS FROM MY ACCOUNT HERE.

This is a mermaid who can change into a human for a short amount of time. To do that, she must get permission from one of the ocean's fish, by way of a kiss. However, the fish love her too much to let her go, even for a short while. Only the Flying Fish understands her desire, because he sees the world as he flies out of the water, even if it's only for a brief second, and he thinks it's beautiful, so he always grants her a kiss so she can change :-)

Since you paid me a visit I thought I'd reciprocate and visit your profile.

This drawing is lovely as is your little story.

I love the concept "she must kiss a fish to change into a human" ! :D And moreover, I find it so clever to have included the Flying Fish to this concept ! :) The drawing is also very well executed : the water and her hair are wonderful, I also love how your smoothly transformed her legs into a fish tail, or her fish tail into legs, and finally all the fishes and water creatures are very realistic ! Grat job ! :heart:

I really love this image. If you dont want people to steal your stuff and print it then you shouldnt upload the full size image..

That's very true - I'm an idiot. But at the same time, I want people to enjoy the fullview. It's a shame I would have to take that away just because a small minority are art thieves.

i would suggest putting the watermark on it :( i know it sucks but i feel like if anyone is going to make money off of your art it should be you

What a different take on the basic story. Very well painted in art nouveau style too.
