I've been drawing alot about two ponies hunting for mermares, so I thought I might as well try and sketch an actual mermare. The story goes (in my head) that mermares were the result of collateral damage from NMM's first rebellion. Basically NMM's finaggling of the moon to a permanent stop really screwed with the tides, so to keep themselves from drowning a few unicorns used either an artifact of some kind or just a really powerful spell (haven't decided which) on the ponies of a sinking island, turning them into mermares. And like how the Elements of Harmony and Mare in the Moon became just legends 1000 years later since nopony had known what had happened to them the mermares and their lost island just drifted into legend too. |

I don't really have a name for this particular mermare, she was just meant to be generic mermare, but I was thinking either kelpsy or sea grape could be good names. |
