#ocean#, A delicate mermaid skeleton, intricately articulated, with a distinctly human-like ribcage and skull. Its bones are a bleached, antique white, appearing dry and somewhat porous, giving them a slightly chalky texture. Below the hip-like joint, the spine elongates and broadens into a gracefully curved fish tail, complete with fine, fan-like caudal bones. The overall shape is fragile yet elegant, a silent, ancient form that feels hard and brittle to the touch.
