I like this for it's powerful forwardness. I like that she's not disproportionate or ultra feminine, but shaped as someone who used their torso as a mermaid would have to for mobility.
I also have a love of mermaids, my grandfather would tell us mermaid stories as children and had many figurines, trinkets, paintings and sculptures of mermaids around. He even had a watch that he claimed a mermaid gave him when he almost drown while canoeing as a child. None of us ever figured out if the story was real or not. Fishing through all their photographs after both my grandparents passed, there was a picture of my grandmother as a camp counselor circa 1918 and on the back in my grandfathers handwriting are the words "Siren". They married 8 years later.

He might have been boating in Silver Springs Florida where the mermaids live.
I dunno, that mermaid looks a little on the thin side. She'd never outswim a predator. No arm muscles!
Mermaids have no predators for they can communicate with all things that live underwater.
Everything has predators. Even us... that's why we are slowly destroying the human race.
So why then are we populating so well, now at 7 billion, and the projections are 13 billion by 2050.
For that same reason. We are hell bent on destroying ourselves. It's unsustainable. (I've actually created threads before in favor of zero population growth and restricting breeding)

Never happen worldwide anywhere. China has given one child a go but they still continue to increase their population quite a bit.
