Digital painting of Aava the mermaid sitting somewhere underwater.
She's wearing her jewelled pink halter top and surrounded by rocks and foliage,
a bright light reaching her body from between the rocks but leaving her face in shadow.
She's stroking her hair with a hand, resting the other on her breast,
and looking sidelong at us in a playfully inviting but also slightly sinister gesture.
There's a lot of empty space in the image, implying that we're a bit of distance away,
perhaps unsure whether to accept her invitation.

Many generations have passed since the merfolk ended the practice of using seduction to procure food, but Aava still knows the art of the Look 👁 👁
