Some memories don’t fade with the tide. For today’s #MerMay prompt Memory, I illustrated a memory box filled with keepsakes from a mermaid and her human best friend - a shell necklace she made for him, the ring he left behind as a promise to visit again, and a sun-faded photo from one of their adventures. Different worlds, but hearts that understood each other. @mermay_official #MerMay2025 #MerMay #MermaidAndHuman #MemoryBox #DigitalArt #SentimentalArt #FriendshipAcrossWorlds #OceanMagic #MermaidDrawing #ArtWithHeart #Digitallllustration #SoftFantasyVibes #FoundFamilyFeels #PlatonicMagic #ArtWithEmotion #illistrator

She’s asleep in a peach bath, tucked into a shell, and entirely made of paper, a soft little dream from today’s prompt: Peach. 🍑🐚💤

I had so much fun bringing her to life through collage — every cut and layer added to her dreamy little world. ✂️✨
