Commission for

"She wanted to find a way to become a mermaid permanently so she could be with her merman lover. But her merman told her to wait, that he would find a way to become human permanently. But she went ahead and found way to become a mermaid. She looked for her merman lover but could not find him, until she was given a message from a trusted friend. Her merman love did find a way to become human and now she drifts with the currents..."

Sometimes a piece of art is created because an artist is comissioned to illustrate a concept or story. In Princess Anna of Sorrows artist *minties has depicted a short, sad tale in such a moving and beautifully haunting manner. ( Featured by `MPsai )

That sounds like the storry of the man who sold his watch to buy his lover a silver hair brush, but the lover sold her hair to buy the man a watchband. I am picky about th manga/anime drawings I like, but this one is phenomenal. I hope you draw more like this one. Maybe one of the man and mermaid together, holding onto each other, wishing that they could be with the other?

I forget if I ever commented on this piece before or not. The story however kind of reminds me of The Little mermaid by Hans Christian Anderson :)
