Lady Aurellia (mermaid form)
Added 2023-03-15 03:48:47 +0000 UTCThis is a sketch of my mermaid original character, Lady Aurellia. She is a Lady because she becomes human when not in ocean or sea water and is a participant in high society, meaning she’s of noble birth. Pools, ponds, and other freshwater will allow her to remain human, however in bodies of water that have the same salinity or higher than the ocean (35 parts per thousand or more) she will transform. She prefers being a mermaid to being a human and usually is depressed as a human!
A bit more info about her design is that I do not have a set outfit for her in either form. I mainly just have motifs that I like to include like pearls, tear-drop shaped jewels, sheer cloth, flowing fabrics and pastels (pink, blue, teal, purple). I like her to keep the ‘coral’ headpiece in both forms, though her ear fins become normal human ears. The ‘corals’ I would think, would be growing from her head like antlers on deer except they are mimicking how corals look, but not truly them because corals are living animals. In human form, she would just have to decorate them to make them look truly like jewelry and not part of her body, thus many of her gowns are likely to be oceanic themed.
