The Little Mermaid
As my original story was about deformed mermaids (caused by harmful substances released into the Ocean) I wanted the mermaids in the book to appear different from the 'traditional' mermaid look.

This was probably one of the test illos I've drawn before starting on a whole set of illustrations

Again, another test image. I intended for these to have an eerie and strange appearance, far from the bright and cheerful Disney film. However, I had second thoughts and ended up changing the look and feel a little bit in the end. (See the first illustration for the final version that made it into the book).
