Create a vibrant and intricate illustration of a fantastical underwater city, set against a warm, gradient blue background that transitions from light turquoise to deep navy. The city's architecture is a mix of ancient ruins and modern structures, with winding staircases, grand archways, and shimmering glass spires. In the foreground, a group of five diverse mermaids, each with unique facial features and skin tones, sit on a coral reef, playing musical instruments. One mermaid has short, spiky hair and a bright pink tail, while another has long, flowing locks and a shimmering emerald scale. The instruments themselves are ornate and intricately detailed, with flowing seaweed and pearls adorning the surfaces. The overall style is whimsical and dreamlike, with bold lines, expressive textures, and a sense of movement and energy.
