Hi everyone, this is just a quick post to say hi and get to know some people on here!
I am crazy about merfolk (but I guess we all are on here!) i have loved mermaids for as
long as i can remember. I made my first fabric tail when I was 9, I am now 16 and highly
enthusiastic about making a latex one!
A brief about me
I am a merman from the east of england, who is 16 and I swim competitively for norfolk.
I also LOVE art and drawing (i'm pretty pissed i missed out on the merman design contest!)
I also do profesionsal trampolinging once a week. I still attend high school (but I'm in my last year!)
As i am new here i'm not sure all this works but i will explore and try to post regually,

Hello :D Like Lunali said, nice to see a new merman face!! I love art too, but I never take it seriously. Example:
"I'm gonna try my hand at detailed facial features for once."
(20 minutes later, drew a mermaid with a smiley face)
"DANG IT!"
I draw lots of merfolk on here, like AniaR, Mermaid Harmony, Thalassa, etc. You can check out my pictures on my profile if you want to see them. Here's the one I did of Thalassa:

Thanks Henri! I draw with colored pencils so sometimes when I scan my artwork it gets washed-out. I like drawing in the same style as the one I posted because it's really simple and it does look cute. I got the idea of that kind of face from the show Adventure Time:

I love to draw mermaids and sometimes mermen, I could draw you if you wanted. I would love to see some of your artwork!

REALLY :D you are so awesome ...... This is what i look like if it helps.....i have blue eyes and light golden blonde hair so Blue and gold would be my tails choice (though the tail i'm making is more pink with rainbow colours).....im curvy and chubby so it would be lovely if you could ass that in for me (besides you dont see many nice chubby mermaid pics :( sadly)
here is some pics of me :)

Welcome to the community Merman Henri!!
I agree that it is nice to see more mermen on the forum. :)
I love your gif! If you are bored and ever want to make another one I wouldn't mind if you made one of me.. haha :) I wish I could draw. I am more of a poet than an artist.
Also, good luck on your plans for making a tail!

Oh my goodness really? I've never had anyone offer to illustrate anything of mine before! If you like any of them and want to, go for it. Here is my Deviantart: http://hamant.deviantart.com/
Thanks for the tail comment! You don't have to make me an avatar, just if you want to.
