For example, several people combined a literal lion with a fish, many put the fish on a girl's head, while others painted a mermaid. I had all three of those ideas independently. Two of them ended up in my sketch.

Sure they're nice and fancy but I feel that the fonts used for the words look like they're basically drowning. They have trouble standing out. If I was to see these on the shelf someplace sure I'd be attracted by the wonderful illustration but It would take a double look to see what the contents where.
