Mermaids as Water Sprites

Water Sprites: a sprite believed to inhabit or haunt water

Water Sprites are fey (fairies) that are associated with water.
They differ from mermaids but I thought I would combine the ideas and see what I could create!

Additional information:
Water Sprites can breathe air and water and some can even fly ~

This is the finished mermay drawing, I received a lot of great advice on how to improve it which helped immensely!
Thank you to everyone that gave me feedback!
I hope everyone will like the finished version just as much as the wip!
