Aranel Ah, “Yellow Mermaid”
I’m not sure if you all know, but I make the NiXiE tails.
I’ve been grateful and honored that many SL Photo-artists have chosen to use my tails, or parts of them, in creating mermaid-themed imagery. I wanted to post a few of my favorites. Links to appropriate flickr pages are provided.

There’s a mermaid shoot in the lastest issue of Second Style Magazine. None of my tails seem to have made it in, though

I’m always delighted to find SO MUCH mermaid media on the web. These entries are some the best of what I find, and reflect what my vision of merfolk are and should be.
Michelle84’s Moonrise in Spring deptics a dazzling mermaid in repose on a rock, beautiful fins blossoming from her back, scales flowering across her landscape. The artist commented that she was inspired by daffodils, her favorite flower.

A stunning rendering of a siren caught in a difficult situation, out of water and at the mercy of men by Santiago @ DeviantArt. Santiago’s rendering of the mermaid is bare, natural, and emotional. Inventing a narrative to go with the image is just as wonderful as looking at it. I’ll be hanging this in my home for sure.

An incredible rendering by janasnaschi @ DeviantArt. The detail in the coloring is fantastic, and I adore her pose, shape, and scales (especially her breast coverings). Look at the hints or orange, green, and purple on those scales! I swoon.

SIRENS OF THE DEEP NEX-CORE SHOW, originally uploaded by VαNITY.
I found a photo set and video of the “Sirens of The Deep” show at Nex-Core a few weeks ago. Thought I would share!
Fun fact: I was asked to participate, but I didn’t have anything new or interest to offer at the time. I hope to change that soon!

If you’re looking to get your mermaid avatar fix on flickr ,there’s a new mermaid-only photo group, SL Mermaids, that just started. Until now, to my knowledge, the only place to find a collective of mermaid photos has been the Undersea Second Life group (still worth following!).
Edit: I did find another mermaid group, Mermaids of Second Life, though there doesn’t seem to be much activity?

Here’s an image of me as Azaiya Boa (in the back) from about a year ago. I think I still looked pretty good! I should put that avatar back together. The other mermaid is the very fun Mewf Demina, whom I haven’t seen in a long time. She’s pretty imaginative with the mermaid avs she puts together.
“To Swim Forever” June 8, 2008

It’s been an off-week for mermaiding; I’ve been a naga, android doll, and a kemonobito (think a neko, but more cat-like), but no fins for the moment, though I have conceived some lovely mer-centric fantasies that I’d much delight in fulfilling sometime. Still, methinks I’ll have to start another blog for the “rest” of Azaiya.
Today I’d like to share a short story concerning merfolk and young girl’s wish. It’s been one of my favorites for a while. I found it many years ago on Elfwood, and, thankfully, it’s still there. And, while I may not be swimming forever in the seas of SL (sadly, I am not always a faithful mermaid), the protagonist of this story shall. Read on for the tail tale!
