Hello friends and mermaid enthusiasts!

Here’s my entry for this weeks “Mermaid Monday Contest Week 33 : Theme: Ancient Aztec.”
Here is the king of the Aztec tribe of Mermaids 🧜‍♀️ and Mermen. These merfoke have lived in the deepest part of the North Atlantic Ocean since the world began. They have kept themselves hidden for millions of years, from mankind who live on dry ground. In the past their people had been captured in many nets, and had been forced into slavery by a mighty evil ruler, and land dweller.

The “Mermaid Monday Contest” is back in action and I am so happy and blessed that it is! I’ve missed our creator and hostess of this contest greatly, as well as drawing lovely merfolk! Thank you so much @nymia.aryn for coming back on Steemit. I pray that you will have all your fans back, to enter their artwork into your contests, and also I pray that new people will join this contest. I will mention your name on all of my art posts about this contest, and urge all of you that see this post to do the same please, to help @nymia.aryn out. It’s great advertisement for here, and other contests you might ad to the list. It’s a good thing for everybody, to promote these “small” businesses, who put out contests. It’s good help for the whole community. You can copy my list of contests, and add to it if you like. It’s also a good way to build strong friendships with creators of contests, as well as helping out newbies to Steemit. Thank you for your support ❣️

HERE ARE SOME PROCESS PHOTOS OF MY DRAWING. THIS DRAWING WAS ALL CREATED DIGITALLY WITH MY IPAD PROCREATE APP, USING AN AIRBRUSH TOOL, AND A WAVE TOOL FOR THE WATER EFFECTS.
