- Mermaids or Sirens are part human/part fish. They appear in the adventure novel THE ODYSSEY (8th century BC). Famously re-imagined by Andersen, Lovecraft, Disney... and David Bruckner for a segment of the excellent 2012 anthology movie "V/H/S"

My Dutch mother gave me a treasured a copy of Hans Andersen c1915. Dutch illustrator, Rie Cramer was influenced by Beardsley, Rackham & Dulac & had a distinct Art Nouveau style. I love this poignantly naked Little Mermaid once she'd lost her tail.

Absolutely love my dear husband. Johan Andersen is my best boy forever and it's his birthday! Horray! I drew this quickly even if it's not the 11th here today. Worth it!

“His own image; no longer a dark, gray bird, ugly and disagreeable to look at, but a graceful and beautiful swan. To be born in a duck's nest, in a farmyard, is of no consequence to a bird, if it is hatched from a swan's egg.”
- Hans Christian Andersen, The Ugly Duckling

I hadn't drawn much in a while due to school taking up so much of my time, but I was able to draw some Johans today, this all surged from "What if Johan's hair wasn't spiky?"
Enjoy the fanservice

alguém lembra desse filme? eu amo ele demais e eu assisti essa versão da pequena sereia antes da Ariel, meu primo tinha o VHS e eu assistia umas 15 vezes direto. Essa versão da Toei é de 1975 e é MUITO fiel ao conto de Hans Christian Andersen🥰
