I draw mermaids. It is what I do. I have drawn many, many, many differant versions and they all are unique. They all have their own personality. People have asked me where I get the ideas for all of them. Sometimes, they just come to me. Sometimes I see them in something else.
Yesterday we moved our boat down river to a new marina in Melbourne. En route I noticed thunder clouds building on the horizon. One the the cloud formations appeared to me to be a mermaid, laying in the sand on her side and resting her head on one hand. I filed that in my memory for future recreation. Sometimes when I look at photos of people, I imagine them as mermaids. The mermaid above is just such a recreation. The idea for her pose was courtesy of Jessica in the photo below. 
Jessica kind of looks like a mermaid anyway so that was not such a stretch of the mind to picture her with a tail.
