Description A while ago I was considering making a "monster" girls themed calendar set. This was sort of a test to see how long it'd take me to draw a picture with the level of detail I want to have in a calendar. The answer is... way too long. Longer than I'd prefer. Sooo I probably won't have the time, energy or motivation to draw 12 pictures before the end of this year. I shall make an attempt though. It seems like a fun project to keep me productive. Probably? ¯\_(ᐛ)_/¯

Anyway, here is a siren. Sirens have been depicted as half-bird women - similar to harpies - and mermaids. I went with the avian portrayal since I might want to draw a fishy mermaid later. Sirens are known for their enchanting singing voice in the myth, so I gave this modern bird lady a chic guitar.


P/s: I scratched my mark on the side of the car. Maybe I will sneakily hid my signature and/or avatar in future pictures like some sort of Easter eggs. I'd amuse me. :P

I really like the idea of both monster girls - cause monster girls - and the signature on the car. Awesome pic

This looks great, I love the warm colours and all the detail on the girl, like the henna tattoo and all the jewelry! And puffins make everything better, of course. I also like the way you've included your signature^^

Thanks! The henna is one of my favorite details of her design. Originally the colors looked a bit cold, so I messed around with the color curves to make it look more retro/summery.
I gotta find more in-universe way to add my signature now!

This is gorgeous, so much wonderful detail. All those little things like weeds, the old car, and the puffins make this such a delight to look at.

Thanks! The puffins are one of the last additions to the drawing. I was going to go with seagull at first but puffin looks cuter.

Calendar set huh? Sounds like a really fun challenge. YOU CAN DO ETT!
Anygreatjob, this is a really great peace here. You did great with the background scenery, with the sea and the birds flying and the flowers in front are 
very well done! And the rusty old car is spot on! Love siren design here as well. It's All Good.
perhaps I should try a calendar them myself...

Thanks! The flying gulls and flowers required a lot of copy paste.

The rusty car is my favorite part. I don't like drawing cars in particular (or anything with a lot of straight lines like buildings and machines, tbh); but abandoned garbage of humanity make for a cool contrast with nature.

Welcomes! Ooh copy paste is artist best friend.
Yes, Im the same way with cars and stuff like that. I been meaning to start drawing more outdoorsy stuff, but I haven't been going outside much or at all.
Anyways, now that ya drawn one rusty car on the beach, its time to draw 10 More on the beach...with Buildings and Machines!!

Maybe I'll draw a rusty plane. Or something with power lines and vines, who knows.

I love this-nice to see this siren using her talents in a nice way! I also love her late 1960's look!

Thanks! Once I decided that the siren will have a guitar, giving her a gypsy/hippy style seemed like a natural choice.
