Mermaid in a Whimsical Cartoon Laboratory

Cartoon style mermaid in a bright playful laboratory. A friendly mermaid with a turquoise tail and purple fins wears a tiny white lab coat over her shoulders. She hovers above a lab bench filled with beakers, test tubes and bubbling potions; glowing algae tanks and coral shelves surround her. Neon blue-green lighting, bold black outlines, flat cel shaded colors, and rounded shapes give a classic cartoon look. The scene is whimsical and curious: the mermaid observes a swirling colorful solution in a beaker while a small robotic crab assistant hands her a pipette. Include lab equipment, water bubbles, and sci fi gadgets. 3/4 view, centered, cheerful mood. 8k digital illustration with crisp lines and vibrant palette.
