Chubby Mermaid

Share

I drew this in support of a friend on Twitter who is getting harassed for supporting people who are overweight. She has had no room to breathe from all of this hate she is receiving so I hope to cheer her up with a chubby mermaid!

kinda hot tbh, love the colors!

As long as you're healthy and happy, weight doesn't really matter at all. :)

Great work getting the ocean lights to contour around the body, dynamic lighting from multiple sources always takes me forever to figure out. :P

In truth all mermaids should be fat as they'd need it to keep warm in the ocean! Good to see more fat mermaids! I love the colours, the glitter and freckles! She's gorgeous! And the lighting and bubble effects are really pretty without being over the top, adding without overwhelming.

To CoryBryde and anyone else who doesn't know:
(Not in an attempt to get all "SJW" but to try and share some knowledge too many people don't know about!)
1) You can be fat AND healthy - no really. Look at Olympic Athletes, they have all body types. You can be fat AND FIT. Here's proof: bit.ly/1hJInMH
2) You can't actually tell a person's health by their weight alone - for all you know that person already HAS a medical issue that CAUSES them to be overweight, or are on drugs to deal with someone else that have that side effect, and that's as healthy as they're ever going to be.
3) People often use the "health" argument as an excuse to hate people; why would one care about some random stranger's health? It's more likely they simply hate fat people and want a reason to shame them. So not only is the "unhealthy" thing more likely to be used by people to spread hate, it's also untrue and spreads misinformation.
