Merfolk Queen

Full-body female merfolk with blue-green, iridescent, fishlike skin. Her anatomy is fully non-human: no ears, elongated limbs, webbed fingers, alien face with large expressive eyes and subtle fins. She has flowing purple-pink fronds instead of hair. She stands in a dynamic, heroic pose like on a late 1930s movie poster — one hand raised holding glowing, swirling magic energy, the other gripping a golden trident. The composition is cinematic, with golden light and soft shadows. The artwork looks like it was first sketched in pencil or ink, then painted over with rich, layered colors. The background is soft and minimal to keep focus on the merfolk.
