siren

artist: kohei horikoshi. In a close-up portrait from a slight low angle, a beautiful mermaid girl with light blue skin gazes directly at the viewer. Her long blue hair cascades in dreadlocks, braids, and wavy strands adorned with small seashell decorations. She has long, doll-like blue eyelashes framing small blue eyes with vertical reptile-like pupils, and noticeable makeup with glitter and pearls on her face. Her upper body features gills on the sides of her neck, mermaid ears, sea jewels on her arms and neck, and webbed fingers. She wears a blue top of sheer tulle fabric. Below, her mermaid tail shimmers in darker blue shades with shiny, decorated scales. The semi-realistic anime style blends glossy glass-like rendering with lively bouncing linework, oversized expressive eyes, strong highlight-heavy rendering, bright clean colors, sparkly effects, muted soft pastel tones, sharp lineart, subtle shading, flat coloring, thin messy lines, and a warm palette.
