Merfolk - Blog Posts
A while back in December of Last Year I decided to make a color pencils drawing of a Mermaid called Lady Layla; I eventually I found this photograph of former Up All Night hostess Rhonda Shear and chose to use it as the basis for this for drawing.
I would later reuse this idea later on when I made a watercolor painting called Marlo, whom I based on model Jennifer Atilemile; Hopeful this will give you better idea of how my creative process sometimes work.
Marlo
I made this piece for the upcoming merry month May; I decided that since this is the month of the mermaid. I would make a watercolor painting of a mermaid race called Merrow, whom I named Marlo after Raymond Chandler's famed hardboiled detective Philip Marlowe.
Marlo's physical appearance is inspired by model Jennifer Atilemile; Jennifer's strike beauty was very easy for me to transform into this great mythical creature you see before you.
Originally made this for mermay, but forgot to share it here-

So I sit down to do some sketchercises before working on commissions. Hours later I realize i didn’t follow the “quick” or “many” goal. Ah well. Proud of myself for finally doing a background!

BLESSED BE THE WATERS Holy are the oceans and seas and sounds International Mermaid Day is everyday in my world but let’s shout it out! @mermaid_collector brought two tailed mermaids back into topic recently and honestly I’m completely enchanted with them. I have always seen them as saint like, marking maps of wonder and gracing sacred spaces as statues of protection. I used to dislike them because they were always so stoic. Now I feel safe in their heavenly duality. #InternationalMermaidDay #StarStruck #mermaid #merfolk #fishfolk #fthmsblw #pnw #pugetsound #SirenAndSaint https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Whc5eHGvj/?igshid=11lzsbtzbcbin
