I think I'm coming into this late, because apparently there is a subculture out there that likes Pirate Mermaids. I don't know who first crossed these two genres of fantasy characters, but I think I like it! This is a commission for (can't remember, but you know who you are) and I had fun doing it. I hope you like it. I had almost as much fun giving it a title! Get it? She's protecting BOTH boot---ah, forget it.

Merfolk and seafarers like pirates probably go way back, considering that they were the ones who started telling tales of these creatures and bringing them back home with them on their travels. (The stories, of course, not actual merfolk).

It would appear that love has been revisited today in these combinations, which I like, too. :3

Also, I personally don't count pirates to be fantasy, considering there were real pirates in the 18th century.

I'll shut up, now. ^^; Fantastic picture. I adore her expression.

I do believe pirate mermaids was started by the manga "One Piece"...
