Inspired by the movie Lady In The Water, we decided to draw we all have heard of, read of and even watched on TV over and over when we were kids.
Yes, that’s right. You’ve got it right – the mermaid.
It is said to be a half human half fish.
I have not seen one in my lifetime before but there are some to claim they have and it’s true.
And I think the closest thing that are similar to a mermaid is the Merlion, an iconic symbol of Singapore.
A Merlion is a mythical creature with a lion’s head and the body of a fish.
If Singapore has a Merlion, Brian had his own version – Mersheep.
I love the colour tone. The calming and mystical blue gives the illustration a calming feel.
The Mersheep also had a fighting fish vibe which has a long and flowing tail.
The eyes of the Mersheep looks like two fried eggs, which gives it a humorous touch.
While it was always said that mermaids don’t eat fish cause they don’t eat their own kind.
But my version of mermaid is totally different.
She loves to eat seafood and fish 🍣. It’s just like Azli, our ikan (fish) that eats fish 🐠.
Haha , that’s right. Seafood is just too yummy.
And I love this seaweed hairstyle. Who needs hair when you can have seaweed hair.
So green, so IN!
As always, Takeru is fashionably late with his mermaid work.
He submitted his “Oh So Kissable” mermaid.
Takeru is always known for his bold colour choice.
This time, a yellowish gold theme.
From gold hair to scales, so bling, so precious.
A beautiful gem indeed.
What is up next week?
