Why Drawing Decapitated Mermaids No Longer Captivates Me

Once I was quite obsessed with drawing decapitated mermaids. Now, I doubt anyone would want to draw a decapitated fish, am I right? However, there is one time that stands out—it's the story I shared with you.

Back then, I had a picture to show you, but I will spare you from it. Back in the day, I drew decapitated mermaids all the time. In fact, my children's book called 'Deirdre the Decapitated Little Mermaid' was quite popular in countries with a high mermaid population. It sold well, and I made a decent amount of money from it. However, after the book's release, my interest in drawing decapitated mermaids waned completely.

I have since shifted to drawing more macabre subjects like disemboweled zombies and vampires with false teeth. As the saying goes, 'all good things come to an end.' But if you suspect I need to start taking my meds or need psychological help, then that would explain why I'm drawn to these dark themes.

Why Would I Draw a Decapitated Mermaid?

You question is quite obsessive and displays unhealthy interests. Honestly, I do not want to draw a decapitated mermaid. My portrayal of mythical creatures is always intact, beautiful, and kind. These gentle denizens of the sea are reflective of my love for the ocean and all its wonders.

I remember drawing one mermaid once, but that was several years ago. The only things I remember are that it wasn't decapitated and that the tail was a vibrant cyan color. Even now, these memories make me cringe. So why would I want to draw such a ghastly image? The past is the past, and my focus lies elsewhere.

Why Decapitated Mermaids No Longer Captivate Me

There are a few reasons why decapitated mermaids no longer hold my interest. For one, the image itself is grotesque and disturbing. Additionally, my appreciation for art and mythology has evolved over time, and I now seek to capture beauty and love rather than death and terror in my work.

Art is a reflection of our inner world, and as I evolve, so does my art. I prefer to focus on subjects that inspire hope, kindness, and wonder. Decapitated mermaids no longer fit into this new aesthetic, and that is why they no longer captivate me.

Do you have any other questions about my artistic interests or the evolution of my work? I am always happy to share more insights and reflect on my creative journey.
