Squiggle Swap (prompt #47)

[eye_of_toad]

Title: Nightmare Fuel
Artist: eye_of_toad
Rating: G? PG? (There's nothing specific that makes this worse than G, but personally it creeps me out.)
Fandom: none, original art
Characters/Pairings: mermaid and sea life
Content Notes: {pilot pen on paper} I was going for whimsical childrens-book-illustration style and somehow veered off into nightmare territory. (The disjointed body was always going to be a bit weird, but that face really pushed it over the edge.) I colored this in, but it didn't turn out right at all. If anyone wants to take the squiggle-swap to the next level of collaboration and color this in, feel free! I release this into the void.

(Also, see my journal for color version and a badly-lit snapshot of the original squiggles that inspired this.)
