More mermaids more mermaids more mermaids!!! I don’t draw these two nearly enough and I’m so happy with how this turned out!

Akane is a lion fish because it just felt right lol, but I didn’t have a set idea for Nekomaru going in so I tried to do a bunch of research for a good fish to pair him with, but the internet just kept telling me about what fish to eat or put in a fish tank no matter what I looked up, so I finally went with a Red Sea Coral Grouper, because apparently it teams up with other kinds of sea creatures to hunt together (and it was neat looking lol)

Hope y’all like it!

Finally decided to do some mermaids, nearly at the end of May, but whatever it’s fine.

Decided to use some of my personal favorite fish as reference, taking a few liberties in scientific accuracy.

The individual mers below the cut.

Inspired by a sea lion i saw in Galapagos, who was using a poor little puffer fish as an inflatable ball

Inktober 52 2023 - Week 19 - ‘Beard’ BONUS

It is still mer-may and there is indeed a fish called the Beard fish (which I personally think is more the goatee fish). The lions mane jellyfish also came to mind for this too. So here is a hybrid merman. Or mermaid. Maybe they’re a merthem/they. I’d ask, but they’re holding that fishing hook thing with some purpose and seem rather busy with their whole sinking ships business.

if i start talking shit abt how bad that little mermaid remake looks pls know its not about ariel herself and instead the fact that all of these remakes look like soulless bullshit

Also, if you're still doing the wip ask game, I'd love to hear about the Silkie story and sci-fi mermaids!

yes, I am absolutely still doing the WIP one, thank you for the ask!!

selkie story is my big WIP that I'm currently sharing on ao3, it's been ages since I last updated but I am still working on it and have the next few chapters all plotted out! It is basically an Alex Rider AU where Alex is a selkie (a mythical creature that can transform from a seal into a human and back by taking off/putting on its sealskin/fur coat). I don't even remember how I came up with this idea, but I love seals and selkies and folklore and it turned out to be a perfect analogy for how Alex doesn't fit in anywhere — he can't connect with normal school kids anymore (also probably never really could really fit with them to begin with since he's not only an orphan, but also Ian was a really weird parent), and he doesn't fit in the world of espionage (since he's still a kid), and he struggles to carve a space of his own. So this story became an interesting way to explore that. (plus seals are adorable 🦭)

sci-fi mermaids is an original story idea I had! I was envisioning a middle grade graphic novel when I first thought of this but I think it would work well as a normal fiction novel too. The premise is that mermaids, once thriving in wild oceans, have dwindled in number due to an exotic “pet” trade. In the name of conservation, many mermaids are kept in sanctuaries where scientists study their strange abilities and strive to create the "perfect" breed of mermaid through genetic engineering.

The main story centres around a young mermaid adopted into a wealthy family, whose children are obsessed with them. She often wonders about the ocean, and what it must be like to live with other mermaids. But she feels ungrateful to think of a life away from her family, who've given her a massive tank, and several natural ponds, and let her watch whatever she wants on tv, and spend so much time taking care of her and entertaining her and including her as part of the family. Especially when she's seen on the news of how badly some pet mermaids are kept...I'm still working out the actual plot but I have so much research and sketches of the characters and settings! Maybe I'll dig some of those up and share them on here someday.

Hey, look, art! What ya mean I’m supposed to be resting instead of drawing?!

My FNAF OC Sunflower but as a merfolk just cuz the design idea been stuck in my head for months. Finally been able to sketch it down to sate my OC art craving brain at last. 

Heavy, obvious inspiration in zebra lionfish, just fits the venomous lil bastard to be covered in stingers. Looking forward to when I can draw with more focus on quality without testing my health, cuz got some details off and I do need to give Sunflower some colours at some point. 

Anyways, do enjoy!
