Ohh, she's awesome! :D I love how she has that tail thingy for climbing. Technology will solve anything! ;)

I figured I wanted her to be able to use her strong tail. :D

I love this, it's so cute and fun! Agreeing with everyone else that the tail grip is great, but I also love her hair all done up in a bun :) That's a really nice touch.

Hilariously, I think I drew buns on all but one of the lady creatures for this challenge. I guess buns say "hair tidied away for an adventure" to me. :)

Beautiful! Mermaids and rockclimbers have a lot in common! They're always telling us to use our arms for balance, and the strength of the lower body is where it's at!
