Sliding in with this at the tail end of Mermay...
You usually see octopus mermaids with the torso the other way, but a friend pointed out that octopi have their beaks amid the tentacles, and I thought it'd be fun to play with. Imagine being welcomed into an embrace by all those limbs.

[Image Description: A digital painting of two mermaids in an embrace. The mermaid on the left has the body of an octopus which is black on top and a warm gold on the underside of the tentacles. She has light brown skin and wears a black hijab and long-sleeved grey shirt with a gold pattern. She is reaching around the other mermaid's waist while her tentacles swirl open around them. The mermaid on the right is a fat black woman with black natural hair. Her tail is that of a whiptail catfish and matches the brown of her skin, with a paler gold underbelly. She holds the face of the octopus mermaid in her hands. The two of them smile softly at each other. /end ID]

Happy Tuesday All!
When I was doing my hair journal series, I was asked to paint a woman with a Hijab and, at first, I thought "How am I going to have this work with the other 'flowing hair' designs I had been doing?"
But, then, the idea of the cloth being like the hair came to me... and everything kind of fell into place.
Sometimes it's fun to challenge your brain a little bit... right?
Hope you like it.
Sending Big Hugs from the Hobbit Hole. ♥♥♥
