“Empress Mermaid” is a regal tentacled queen inspired by ancient Chinese Qin and Han Dynasty fashion with beautiful long-sleeved garments. Asian Pacific Islander month and Instagram’s Mermay were also catalysts for this creation. The empress wears a necklace made of seaweed and jewels, while her headdress is adorned with shells and florals.

Samurai Merman is inspired by Instagram’s Mermay art challenge and this AAPI Asian Pacific Islander Month. I’ve also been watching Sirens, with some fierce mermaid/merman warrior creatures. Pairing the samurai with a shark body was only fitting as the strength of character is so prevalent.
