Mermaids

[thatguyagain]

I love how they don’t look like they’re actively malicious just living their life

I've always loved the concept of mermaids just being these grotesque deep-sea species that only superficially resemble humans.

[STORULVR]

I actually personally love this approach of how mermaids would look like because in older stories mermaids would lure in fishermen with their beauty and singing and once they got close enough they would show their true face and eat them whole.Also fish look really weird and the more deeper you dive into the ocean the more weird looking creatures you find so dont be expecting a Ariel look alike lmao.

Scientifically Accurate Little Mermaid

[rigelamaterios]

I love to think that despite how they look and move, they’re still fish and have the mind set of a fish, these are the most scientifically accurate mermaids I’ve ever seen

[ccthesylveon]

i love how most of them look like they're mimicking humans, and they're so beautifully done!
0:02 is mimicking a typical mermaid, with the red hair, but its eyes and mouth are on the stomach and chest. might even be some sort of hammerhead shark??
0:16 looks like it has a face on top of it, but you can clearly see the mouth right underneath
0:23, similarly to the first one, is also mimicking a more typical mermaid. the undulating ""hair"" is supposed to look like human hair with a face barely poking through
0:41 almost looks like a shark on its back. it might almost be trying to mimic a face too, but it definitely has human ribs down
0:59 is again mimicking a more typical mermaid. its false face looks like hair floating on the surface of water, and if you look close enough you can see a nose and a mouth

I love this depiction of mermaids more than anything because it’s kind of biologically accurate but also deeply disturbing, it’s beautiful in my opinion.

[magical]

I love how they all look like they're at least trying to mimic the appearance of a human but can only vaguely resemble one since they wouldn't exactly know what a human looks like considering the different environments they live in. Nice work, man.

First Biblically Accurate Angels, and now Anatomically Accurate Mermaids

That last mermaid sent a chill up my spine. Everything else here looks fairly innocuous, but that one was not only huge but also a lot harder to identify in terms of what species it's based on.
Edit: Yes, I'm fully aware of what a ningen is.

0:13 This extraordinary creature, Half blind, half D E A F... The top of the pinnacle of absolute in the WORLD.

[HlootooThunderhammer]

As a monster lover, and admirer of deep sea creatures, I ADORE your designs here! They look like actually creatures that could've been mistaken for merfolk. Certainly more than frickin' manatees...

[danielz]

Whatever mermaids look like, they won’t look anything like Ariel that’s for sure

[InternetStrangerThatCanRead]

I love how none of them have working eyes because they all seem to be deep sea creatures with no light for the eyes to gain data from

[greentwo]

I love how they are at the bottom of the ocean, meaning they probably CAN be in titanic size.

[rattrashking]

I want more mermaids. They look so interesting. So much could be learned about the Biology

[mr.markofski]

If the live action remake of Little Mermaid doesn’t have Ariel looking like this, I’ll riot

[The_Boondoggler]

I love how there’s usually two representations of mermaids: beautiful sea maidens, or aquatic Hellspawn that are made from nightmares and dead babies souls

[Fizz-tsdp]

Oh yes, this is perfect for my brain, especially when I’m pulling an all-nighter :]
