Bonus #Mermay drawing!
Since I drew my regular mermaid so early in the month, I decided to show what she likes to get up to: pressing herself up against the viewing domes of submersibles used in marine research to say hello.
True fact: dozens of undersea expeditions are lost each year due to mermaids compelling scientists to let them into their vessels. It's a big problem in marine studies.

Double-plus bonus #Mermay drawing! (Sort of.) Just for fun, I tried rotating my mermaid visitation drawing to match the mermaid's perspective. I also restored the mermaid's reflection in the glass, which I'd previously hidden because I thought it made the centre of the drawing a little too busy. What do people think? Better from the scientist's orientation (as shown upthread) or the mermaid's (shown here)? #Mermay2026 #MastoArt #FediArt #Illustration #Mermaid #BigHair #DeepSea #Diving
