My newest piece, "Mermaid Nereida Returns", which shows our badass and bubblegum-punk merm superhero swimming in the open waters as she holds their trusty weapon, a stainless steel battle axe. Also as shown at the bottom of the illustration is "Mermaid Nereida" which was written/outlined in ink, then colored in with purple and pink glitter markers. :)

A certain mer-baddie is soon making a comeback... 💅🏿✨

Black and white drawing, reminiscent of an old nostalgic photograph. Rongo is a black mermaid with a striped tail. She is wearing a risky silver dress, silver jewellery, and a white translucent head scarf.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Now it's Rongo's turn to wear a silver dress for NYE! <3

Mermaid me (2025 vs 2017)
Drew myself as a mermaid in 2017 during my undergrad and wanted to re-illustrate it.

got side-tracked with the idea of a mermaid themed DnD campaign and repurposed one of my old mermaid characters for it!

Missed Black Mermaid Day… but I’m a mermaid, so every day is mermaid day 🧜🏾‍♀️✨ #mermaid #mermaidvibes #blackmermaid #mermaidmakeup #fantasy #fantasycore

Still, there was something about her that drew me in like a siren calling to a sailor…

#blackmermay #blackmermaid #mermay #fantasy #representationmatters

A digital illustration of a beautiful black mermaid sitting on a rock (left side profile shot). The mermaid has a neutral expression on her face. Her eyes are brown and she is wearing red lipstick. The mermaid's face and arm are covered in purple and multi-coloured scales. She is also wearing a pearl arm cuff and kelp bracelet on her left arm. The mermaid has long green locs that go passed her shoulders. The mermaid's tail is purple with glitter detail, and there are plants growing out of the rock she is sitting on. The background is white with a large abstract light blue brush stroke that has many white bubbles of various sizes embedded in it.

Another piece from 2022. 🧜🏾‍♀️🫧💜

A Black mermaid swimming underwater drawn in Colors Live on the Nintendo Switch

As I was coloring this, I realized that I made one ear bigger than the other 😣

Just wanted to draw in Colors Live again 😊
