Can someone draw us an amabie/amabiko?

Ok, I have no artistic talent of my own, but I know there's a few others here without such a handicap.  Now is your time.  :) 

What is an amabie, you ask?  Well, wikipedia says, "... the amabiko is a multi-legged prophesizing creature which prescribes the display of its artistic likeness to defend against sickness or death."

Yokai.com - obviously(?) the leading authority on yokai - has this somewhat more useful description,

Quote

APPEARANCE: Amabie is a mermaid-like yōkai with a mixture of human and fish features. It has long hair and a scaly body. It has a beak-like mouth, and three legs. It glows with a bright light that can be seen from the shore.

If anyone has some drawing skills and would like to take a crack at illustrating the above description(s) - for fun and (possibly) the aid of humanity - then post your artwork below.   I think a bunch of people might benefit from seeing it before this whole thing is over.
