Description An idea for my Books, if I ever get around to writing/drawing them.

It annoys me that merpeople are drawn most often with fish tails, or only fish-like tails. There are SO MANY other interesting creatures in the ocean that could be used for merpeople, and I think especially that seal merpeople would be badass.

So here is Sedna, who will become very important in the story. And she's a pirate, because pirates add at least +2 to the badassery. Yarr

That's a beautiful BBW mermaid. I like that she is based on a sirenian/sea cow.

I have a strange urge to stand on a diving board and throw buckets of fish to her o.o

Pretty cool! I like the name, too!

rachelillustrates In reply to EmperorNortonII [2009-05-27 20:22:19 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! It comes from an Inuit goddess of the sea, who was very badass and took the form of a seal, if I remember correctly.

I recognize the name, I just didn't think that Sedna took the form of a seal.

Yay! Sealmaid! I like seeing seals used in fantasy. I really just like seals. So sweet looking, and they can be so mean.

I haven't read anything else of his, so I can't really say if its his best or not. I just know I liked it.

Some of it's OK, goes overboard on the immobility bit.

rachelillustrates In reply to Barkis1 [2009-05-30 17:39:28 +0000 UTC]

Exactly. I embrace the idea of health at any size, but total immobility does not seem healthy by any measure.

She looks so badass and sexy, and I totally love that she's part seal! The grey skin makes her seem more otherworldly, and I love that she's an action chick who's actually allowed to get battle scars.
