Reinah the Blind Mermaid

Happy #mermay

Legend says Reinah was once a warrior-witch of an ancient civilization that plunged into the depths of the sea to recover her lifelong comrade who fell overboard during an ancient battle many millennia ago.
Her body was never recovered, but her comrade miraculously survived and washed up to a nearby shore. It is speculated that Reinah sacrificed her life in a bargain with the Sea God and pledged her eternal service in exchange for the life of her comrade who would have surely drowned. (story by Jon Jon the Wise)

I've made this piece to promote my new rock photo pack, to showcase you a creative way to use them. You can find it in my shop. The rocks she stands on and the others nearby are photgraphed by me in the 7 Ladders Canyon. If you are interested on how to work with those images and transform them into beautiful concepts, feel free to check my book you can find it on my gallery.

(the Lyre model is Lynxette's)
