Traditional drawing of a pensive looking nudibranch mermaid. She is basically a human lying on her stomach with the mantle of a nudibranch draped over her back. The species is Mexichromis macropus. The border of its mantle is decorated with orange stripes. It has purple bumps on its back. The rhinophores, wich are positioned on the human's head, also have purple accents. Imagine them to sway gently in the water. Done with black fineliner and watercolour pencils.
I finally finished my nudibranch mermaid. The upper body - human, lower body -creature pattern does not work here, I think. So I came up with something different. Imagine you see a colourful seaslug and from the top nothing seems to be unusual but under the mantle hides a tiny person.
