freetoroam Posted November 6, 2019 #4 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Quote human-like silhouette Sporting what could almost be mistaken for a mermaid's tail and a head of Medusa-like tentacled hair, It is very possible the mermaid story did start out with a sighting of this kind of creature, that part is an interest, not the silly "human like" part based on myths. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Hammerclaw Posted November 6, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Image looks more sketched on than real and you'd have to be on acid to mistake it for a mermaid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aardvark-DK Posted November 7, 2019 #7 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I agree with Hammerclaw, it looks sketched, eerie and a bit surreal... But fascinating... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissJatti Posted November 7, 2019 #8 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Human??? Mermaid?? Silhouette?? Where? In that image.. errrrr.... OKay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoofGardener Posted November 7, 2019 #9 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Hmm.. I somewhat doubt that this is the origin of the Mermaid myth. People have fantasised about hybrid human-animal combination for thousands of years. Just look at the Egyptian deities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwynbleidd Posted November 7, 2019 #10 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I see what could be the outline of a woman perfectly. If you were looking at a woman, try to picture her upside-down underwater of course. Her hair is streaming around and spread out which are the black spindly things on the bottom left. Her arms you could mistake for two spindly things coming out the sides. The torso slims down from the broader shoulders towards a slender waist and hips, where long legs are seen alongside each other towards the top right. Sorry, that's the best I can do in describing what I can see. I think it's quite beautiful actually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+joc Posted November 7, 2019 #11 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I instinctively knew that this thing would not resemble a human or a mermaid. I was not proven wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clicked the to see the actual image cause I thought this was just a commercial-free image they used for the article. Only to see this exact image, which for me also isn't a silhouette of a human/mermaid :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwynbleidd Posted November 9, 2019 #14 Share Posted November 9, 2019 When I look at things I also see them in an abstract way. Perhaps that's why I can see the female form. I've ended up taking the pic and putting some boobs on it so you can see it. Can you see what is an abstract female form now? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
