I read about ciénega mermaids today. They live in lil swamp marshes now because as time went on, the ciénegas were left to became small little streams of water. ciénega mermaids are really small, about the size of frogs. They need to be small because ciénegas are small. ciénega mermaids are very rare to find. I was trying to draw one earlier but I had trouble with pain and overstimulation so i stopped.
My ciénega mermaid is a cuatro ciénegas killifish. They are supposedly common in ciénegas. I was going to base the mermaids human half off of indigenous Mexican people. I don't think it's fair to make a mermaids human half a race that is not native to that region. ciénegas are supposedly in Mexico so that is why I said the human half would be based off of the indigenous Mexican people.
I liked drawing the killifish but the mermaid was really hard to draw.
The book I was reading was: A Field Guide to Mermaids by Emily B. Martin.
It's one of my favorite books. I love the art and everything in it.
