My Siren Intermedia (Lesser Siren) character Lír. I adore this guy.
Gouache on Bristol, 2010
Look up Siren Intermedia and Siren Lacertina on google and you will see, their head is very similar to that of an Axolotl. =) Axolotl are in fact an entirely different breed, but their habitat is similar. Just Sirens can deal with heat better, afaik, Axolotl are taking serious damage to their health if the water temperature rises above 15 degree Celsius for a longer while. I had Axolotl as pets for three years and I miss them greatly. They were just such a brilliant addition to my family. Maybe someday, my life will allow me to have some of those beautiful animals around me again. Or even a siren. They are both quite fascinating species.
This is indeed a very interesting species in never heard before! I had very close contact with axolotls during a school project so i'm quite familiar with them. These sirens have indeed some similarities in the head, but are a completely different species! I like how you experiment with the species of your characters, i seem to keep finding some very interesting surprises around your gallery! And you seem to know quite a lot about animals as well! Keep up the good work my friend!
