Group Info

Every day DA is flooded with a deluge of Mermaid based deviations. Drawings, stories, animations, all this and more are submitted by the hundreds, easily climbing to a thousand within any given week. Due to this very fact, even the most popular of mermaid pictures rarely get the attention they deserve.

Here, we seek to display both the works of our members, and those which we simply feel deserve attention. With so many mermaids out there, it would be a shame not to bring them to the average deviant's attention.

Seastars Shine - Mermaid Transformation
The sea, as anyone will tell you, is a place of mystery. Of change, charm, and challenges. Change: the magnificent way in which the water's workings astound us. Charm: the way the creatures of the deep can make us smile, then lurch back in terror. And Challenge: the difficulty in exploring it all, or even attempting to. To the people of the Candlelit Coast, the seastars were all three. Like a veil of glitter across the ocean water, the seastars were countless lights, shimmering upon the surface, bright enough to rival the stars of the sky. A yearly phenomenon, and to understand it was a Challenge, certainly, and its Charm went without saying.Seastars Shine - Mermaid Transformation by ~SlitherFin
A Merman's Tale 12Chapter 12: Photos, Clothes Shopping, and Marine Salvage

  As they had anticipated, Gizella and Yuki were a hit at  the day care center in Havelock. As soon as they rolled into the main room to meet the children they were bombarded with numerous questions, some more serious than others. The staff were just as curious, but let the kids do most of the questioning. To no one's surprise they were especially curious about their tails and fins (you may touch them if you wish), as well as their shells (you may look but not touch). Gizella and Yuki curled their tails and wiggled their fins, which had the kids oo-ing and ah-ing, but the best was yetA Merman's Tale 12 by ~uglygosling
A Merman's Tale 11Chapter 11: Not Your Typical Doctor Visit

  My success at transforming Bruce into a merman, and improving his quality of life in the process, was in a very real way a highlight of my own life since the change. I refused to gloat however, this was rather more serious stuff than the mer/biped comparisons we had half seriously made before on occasion. The others seemed to realize it too, we were all relatively quiet as we made our way back up to the house.

  Once we were inside, the Toveys all thanked me for how I had helped them; I accepted their accolades with some green-tinted embarrassment, then they began asking their own share of questA Merman's Tale 11 by ~uglygosling
A Merman's Tale 10Chapter 10: Portent?

  Our resolution was soon to be put to the test. When we finally returned to our 'homeport' and surfaced at around noon, following another extended swim out of our local bay, we found Brian standing at the end of our dock.

  "Where have you been? I've been waiting for you all morning."

  "Just going for a swim" Yuki answered.

  "What's up?" I asked.

  "Something interesting only you can do, Harry..." We heard a distant rumble of thunder, then Brian went on "Lets go inside."

  It didn't take us long to crawl back up to the house. After the first two nights we usually left our chairs indoors and would crawl backA Merman's Tale 10 by ~uglygosling

Appologies

:icondragon8writer:

I've tried a few times, and seems apparent at this point that I'm just not getting back into the swing of things with dA, and this group in particular.

I'm not shutting it down or anything so drastic - but I am warning you that activity is likely to continue being sporadic at best.

(Additional apologies for how the last contest fell apart - if you were in it, and would like to claim a story, I'll do my best to write something up for you as a consolation prize; I'll admit I'm rather behind on projects in general right now - part of why I fell off dA in the first place being that I was burnt out on writing, and am still getting back into the swing.)

Hi, fellow mermaid fans! I'm a budding illustrator, currently working on my own mermaid project.
I'd really appreciate it if you could swim on over to www.facebook.com/HopeaFish and 'Like' my page! I have plenty of my artwork on there (with more to come) and other great mermaid images.
Many thanks! :heart:
