Sometimes faeries take humans away to beautiful, magical places but sometimes, the places they take us are dark and not so beautiful.
This was done for a project themed “Fear’s Playground.” It’s based on a nightmare I had a few years ago where this malevolent nixie was terrorizing a small town and killing off young men. The dream started with her drowning a surfer so that’s the scene I illustrated here.
It was actually a rather terrifying dream—I guess because I have such a strong fear of drowning.

Damn, & I thought mermaids were supposed to be cute & have singing crabs friends.
Fantastic art work you have a real talent.
She had a singing crab friend. But it died.
Mysteriously.

Very cool image! Love the way you’ve illustrated it, with the nixie hugging the drowning body. Accidentally dangerous.
it’s awesome, I love the frayed tattered fins.
wow!!!! incredible work, really fantastic!
your art is beautiful!
brilliant! The best thing to do with our nightmares is turn them into art.
Yeah. If nothing else good comes out of them, at least I can occasionally make art from them. :D
