Hello everyone, this is my new illustrations series called Mermaids, I hope you enjoy:

“I like to collect seashells!

I wonder what we have today for lunch, maybe we go down to the darkest depths to looking for something to eat.

Don’t mistake me for my sisters they are all like me, they are the only friends I’ve had, I will never ever leave them, they make me feel so blue and immense.

We like to play between the sea currents, swim beside the young whales, we hide among the corals, go to hunt to the marshes or recover lost treasures.

Tiny traveler,
are we going to appear in your dreams or in your nightmares?”

I wonder why nobody has commented on this so far. Very Impressive! I love your artistic style and your selection of colors.
However, personally, I would rather veil the (non-existant) genitals or have them hidden behind objects like in the first picture. I think this would create more tension and avoid having large bare areas. It's not really offending, but it looks like you didn't dare to show real genitals in your illustrations. Anyways, great job. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your works. Are the illustrations on your website all done in inkscape?

Really thanks for your comment, I apreciate it!

I really do not want to create erotic illustrations. I don't think they don't have genitals, I just don't want them to be something important. Best they hidden behind objects ... maybe

Yes, all the illustrations are done with Inkscape.

Hi !! I"m new here and I am seeing your most beautiful creation !!!! Because of seeing your work using Inkscape.........I'M SO ANXIOUS to buy a tutorial book and get my art work started. I'm quite impressed that this free piece of software can make something like this. I've seen others too on this forum and I'm just soooo excited with all that I've seen this evening. But I would like to know, if you can share, just how long did it take you to create one of your images using inkscape ? I greatly appreciate your feedback on this

Hello gigi_daisy, I think that a draw can take me between 4 and 10 hours having very clear the sketch, concept, colours etc
