Here are my design exploration explorations. Originally I wanted to go with a proper mermaid, but I settled on legs with a tail in the end.

And here is the final illustration. It isn't nearly as polished as I would've liked it to be but I don't have the time to keep noodling away. I still like the way it came out though.

I understand, I don't have much time to myself either...it looks pretty awesome though!

Thank you for the kind words! I feel like most artists have that feeling, just have to do what you can I suppose.
