Mermen!
This gorgeous painting is by animator/illustrator Jozef Szekeres, who designed the Australian Olympics mascot. He is also well known for his work at Disney Animation. And he designs beautiful dolls!
In 1996, Image Comics published a book of pinups based on A DISTANT SOIL, and this was Jozef’s contribution. It’s so gorgeous! Jozef is very fond of mermaids, and they appear in a lot of his works. Here he’s painted Seren and D’mer from A DISTANT SOIL having a lovely ride on a couple of handsome mermen!
This painting was created using animation cel paint. I am lucky to be able to bring it to you with Jozef’s permission, scanned from the original art.

Oh my gosh! I remember this! I’m trying to remember why I remember this but I do! This is beautiful! Too late at night for a cold shower, especially in this weather though when you’re down South where I am, it’s not a very cold winter. We’ve had 70 degree weather.
Still. This is just gorgeous and D’mer does not look happy! XD I swear, he reminds me of a cat who hates water.
