I originally tried to do her bottom-half too, but I couldn't get it to look
right. I copped out similarly on the face. Diddles welcome :)

I drew her laying on her front on the floor, but I suppose theoretically she
could also be leaning forward with her elbow on a table... that would have
been easier to draw, in retrospect. Oh well!

  Why not a mermaid?  Love the original drawing, BTW:  it shows a 
  posture which captures a mood perfectly... sort of halfway between
  Rodin's "thinker" from The Gates Of Hell, and the Sphinx.

 Truly excellent!  I pulled it 3 or 4 characters left, as otherwise I
 get line-breaks on a 6ins = 72 chars display.  I like the half-shut 
 eyes as lines, that works well.  Question, what is that behind her
 ear -- a hibiscus flower?  the playboy bunny??

idea of a snake lady much more.
