Mermaids may often be spotted in at least pairs, partly to support each other especially the younger ones who may be unfamiliar with the surface, but also knowing that men are greedy.

Final MerMonday artwork of 2024! I had started doing this MerMonday thing as a personal art challenge to draw mermaids without any particular theme but to at least maintain some consistency in art style (hence the cool blue tone) and quality. The pie in sky plan I had halfway through the year was to put these and a few choice MerMay artworks together into an artbook, if there's enough interest for this then I'll do my best to make it happen and of course give priority to Patreon supporters when it gets done.
Thank you everyone for your support here and I hope I can continue to make it worthwhile in the next year, whether that's to continue with the MerMondays series or something else!
