Challenge #5: Squiggle #2: Minoan Mermaid

Rating: PG-13? R? I'm not sure
Fandom: The Minoans of Bronze Age Crete
Characters: A Mermaid, the sea
Content Notes: NSFW: not erotic, just from a different dress code. As you might guess from my username, I'm fond of the Minoans. They were fond of spirals, so when I saw this week's challenge I thought of them and how they might conceive of and depict a mermaid. I decided that none of the preview images did what I wanted them to, so I'll just put her behind the cut.

I worked in the spiral in two different places, one less obvious than the other. I hope this works. :)

I really enjoyed this one a lot. beams
