Description
So, this is that last one - the 7th mermaid.Ironically enough, this was the first mermaid to be made when I first started on the project.
You often see the Koifish in modern art and tattoos, and it made me think of the idea of a Koi mermaid.
I have always enjoyed the myth about Koifish becoming dragons, and their general symbolism of luck, strength, love and so on.
Of course I then had to keep the theme Japan, and then thought it would be natural to pick a geisha looking female for the rest.
I hope you have enjoyed my mermaid project - I for sure had a lot of fun making them.
Also, I have received so much great positive feedback, which has been awesome. Thank you!

Glad you have enjoyed them - and thanks for the compliment!
The scales were a puzzle of details...had to measure all the time, but it was worth it in the end

VERY classic, lovely sweep of tail, she looks like something out of Noh or Kabuki, and you did the scales in the Japanese classic manner. Beautiful colors, great pose--a Favorite!
