Merman by @leelee (Lee Lee)
This is a pretty merman inspired by my friend Nataku's merman named Kalua.
He's a priest with the map to the holy place on his arm, so he is confined to him room and heavily gaurded. If her were to fall into the wron hands all of the underwater world would crumble. One of his gaurds is promised by a witch to be granted riches if he would kidnap the priest and leave him in the middle of the ocean to die(Since he can't fend for himself). If he dies then all of the power and beliefes of the merfolk die with him. He gets taken out to the depths of the ocean and abandoned for money. He somehow finds his way close to a shore where there is fish and a reef to hide in. There he sees his first human and falls instantly in love. The rest is still to be seen.
Wow, great pic! He's really fishy looking with all those fins. Webbed hands would be a great addition and complement all those cool fins!
