Monster Stingray Mermaid

I saw this awesome program on TV that was about these monster freshwater stingrays in Thailand. These things are INCREDIBLE: seriously massive. Anyway, inspired this mermaid drawing here... it's sort of a baby monster stingray... : D enjoy!

Mermaiden

Apparently, the GDG gals really love the Mermaid theme =P I think any time we've had it, almost everyone draws something =D

Well, here is my mermaid, I personally like the mermaids that look a little more fishy or nymph-like, but I draw most any type. I still neeeeeeeeeed to draw an octomaid, a octopus-type mermaid =P

Oh and this is girl 26/100 - Myrna

Full view for detail, and I will color this up sometime =) But until then, anyone is welcome to =P Just let me know!

SQUEE! I love this theme. I seriously have dozens of mermaid drawings, I can't possibly choose. I even made a book of my mermaid drawings that I bought down to sell at SDCC (and soon to be available at Stuart Ng books!! yay!!)

However, in honor of Shark Week, here are some mermaids... WITH SHARKS! dun dun dun!

November 21, 2009 - Mission: Comics & Art presents "Dee's Siren Song" by Jamaica Dyer

Mission: Comics & Art presents "Dee's Siren Song" by San Francisco based artist Jamaica Dyer, who's first graphic novel, Weird Fishes, a collection of her web comic was recently published by SLG Publishing. The show opens with an artist reception and book signing at 7pm on December 18, 2009 and runs to January 27, 2010. Well known comic writer and Internet purveyor, Warren Ellis has this to say about Dyer's work "The only explanation for Jamaica Dyer is that she was built by aliens and dropped here to show us all how crap we are compared to her."

Santa Cruz native and recent Mission resident, Dyer's work includes comic books, illustration and animation with an eye to the fanciful and surreal. Her book Weird Fishes, as she says, "is a story about growing up and realizing that all your childhood eccentricities might make you a total outsider as you enter your teenage years, along with the realization that reality isn’t really what it seems. Dee is at the center of the story, and she sees giant talking ducks and other imaginary creatures, and her best friend is a boy from school nicknamed The Bunny Boy has worn the same Halloween costume for years. When he decides to start being cool and stop hanging out with Dee, suddenly the friendly ducks become monsters and her reality changes forever."
