Many believe that the old sailor's mermaids were manatees. From the waist down, the tail of a manatee looks just like a mermaid. With the right moonlight, calm waters and a little too much rum, and perhaps with a little seaweed for hair, the West Indian manatee could become every lonely sailor's dream come true.


I had a lot of fun designing this and I think it looks really good on a shirt. I hope I am not the only one the feels this way and hope many of you can enjoy something like this. Comments very welcome. :)


More on the concept behind this here at this link:

I'm scared.

... I think you should try changing your subject material to something more aesthetically pleasing...

:)

erm. its kinda funny. but who would actually wear this?

i would

i would

Eww.

''why cant a full figured mermaid be pretty????''

That's exactly what I wanted to ask you. Why didn't you make her prettier? Not every full figure woman looks like creepy old hookers. Sorry but that one does...

Nnnnnnnnnnnnnno for me.

sorry if this isnt your cookie cutter definition of beauty... if you want boring "beauty" go to the bathroom of a model runway show and watch all the "beautiful" models with their faces down over the toilet

^I don't think that that was what he was saying..

ohhh, this just reminds me of how badly I want "A Fathom Farewell" to be reprinted..

i thought it was a merMAN at first.. hehe.. but i love your explanation behind it, anyhow =)

Anyways, since it is really a manatee, right? I, personally, don't find manatees that attractive....so that would be what is being represented here...

I really wouldn't wear that...I get the point you're trying to make, but it's just not working through this design.

Ooh...she's sexy ;) I just don't like that one on royal blue...or whatever bright shade of blue that is.

Thank you for changing the awful title you had in the critiques.

im thinkin more like sea cow. i wouldnt wear something beastly like that. not ever. and why does she only have 4 fingers?

im a sailor...

and i definatly do not dream of a fat woman with a tail in bikinis

I'd like it better if it was a real manatee!

Totally unnecessary, totally stereotypical, totally ignorant.
Looks like your tact is about as refined as your designs.

i could totally list off at least 5 models who do that... does that make it a stereotype???? NOoOOOO... so go back to making out with your hippy boyfriend... and when you design you can tell me what is or isnt refined... thanks for your unhelpful imput it was much unappreciated

i like this one :)
all of your designs are amazing!

lol... well ur one of the few that like this design... which happens to be one of my favorites...

glad i got a fan though

:)

haha, well i dont see why your designs are great.
question, if they dont get printed is there anyway i could send you the money for you to print one for me?
