A Shark Mermaid named Kayia and a Mangrove Fairy named Marinia coloring pages

 Hi!  Sorry I have not posted in  few days.

I had surgery and it went very well. 

So here are two drawings I have done during my recovery. 

Both are ocean-related.  

Kayia the Shark Mermaid

I have drawn Kayia before.  She is a beautiful and brilliant Mermaid. I have drawn her again to point out that one of her roles is to be a Shark Mermaid and care for sharks in the ocean.  Sharks help keep the ocean ecosystem balanced and humans (not Mermaids) are wastefully killing millions of sharks for shark-fin soup.  In my opinion that is very immoral. 

Kayia is seen here swimming with sharks - possibly the Black-Tipped Shark.  Merpeople have powerful magic and so a shark would not DARE to try harm or eat a mermaid or merman.  

Marinia the Mangrove Fairy

Marinia is a Mangrove Fairy.  She helps protect a very important part of the Earth's marine ecosystem.  Mangrove roots provide a nursery where billions of juvenile fish live and grow.  Notice that Marina has butterfly-like wings because ": Lepidoptera" or butterflies and months are the most common insects in the mangrove forests of the Earth.  Mangrove forests are found in estuaries where the sea meets freshwater from rivers and streams. 

In this drawing, Marinia is seen with a butterfly when the tide is low.  She is in her native 5-inch or 12.7 cm height and wading in the very shallow seawater.  She is wading between the roots of the mangrove trees.  Of course, Fairies can magically transform to mortal size... when they want to or need to.  Marinia is seen wearing her favorite type of clothing - that is leaf-based clothing.  She has put a charm on the leaves to help them hold together.  She also did a shrinking charm because these are mangrove leaves.  

You might have noticed that the butterfly that is greeting Marinia has similar wings to her Fairy friend.  The average mortal - if they saw Marinia - would see a butterfly because Fairies have magical concealment charms that trick mortal minds. 

Mangrove Fairies have magically slightly elongated arms - for climbing in the mangrove roots and up in the branches as well.  I will be drawing more Mangrove Fairies in the future.
