Baby mer Sun!! And close-ups of my favourite parts of him

I think this is the first kinda-finished mer Sun design I ever posted lmao he doesn't cross my mind sorry😭 but anyway!! I'm really proud of how this came out especially considering that I spent like only hour and a half on this. I tried to convey kind of a mix of jellyfish and normal looking mermaid?? Idk if worked but he looks very edible. Also there are some subnautica motifs in his design too<3

[fours-writings]

when you’ve worked with mers for years, you can tell the difference between mers just trying to be friends with you and mers trying to court you

(not that these two are trying to be subtle in any way)

[ID: The first image is a digital sketch of Y/N holding Sea Butterfly!Sun in a large fishing net. Y/N stands to the right of Sun wearing a wetsuit. They are facing slightly right, with their right hand on their hip and the other hand supporting the handle of the net that rests over their shoulder. They are looking back at Sun with an amused smirk. To the left of them, Sun is slightly larger than human-sized. His whole body is inside the net besides his arms and head which are leaning onto the handle of the net. The net bends with his weight, and his crossed arms cradle his head as he looks at Y/N with an amused smile. The lineart is orange and the background is white. The artist’s signature in the bottom left follows the curve of the net and reads, “MOCHA ILLUSTRATES”.  The second image is a digital sketch of Y/N holding Firefly Squid!Moon in a large fishing net. Y/N stands to the left of Moon wearing a wetsuit. They are facing slightly left and are looking down curiously at Moon in the net. They have their hands up as they hoist the handle of the net above their head to hold Moon up. To their right, Moon is slightly larger than human-sized. He is upside and his tentacles are spilling out over the rim of the net. His arms are cradling his head as he looks up at Y/N with an annoyed expression. The lineart is blue and the background is white. The artist's signature in the bottom right follows the curve of the net and reads, “MOCHA ILLUSTRATES”. END ID.]

Whale Shark Sun and Moon and Poacher Y/n!

Sun and Moon wander around a small chain of islands. They can be seen hanging out with normal whale sharks.

Sun likes to go to the surface and see the local fisherman. People love to see him as well. He will prank people by splashing them, popping out of the water and spooking them, and bumping their boats if they are dozing. He is a little too trusting and that can get him into trouble. Sun loves to be pet.

Moon is way more shy. He was hurt badly by poachers once. He stays away from the surface. He only comes close to the surface at night. It's seen as a blessing if you even catch a glimpse of him. In reality he is always with his brother, but he just stays deeper under water so no one can see him. Moon may be touch-starved.

Y/n works for a group of poachers called the Purple Rabbit. Their parents were part of this organization and forced Y/n into it. Y/n's parents are abusive and gave them their scar. Purple Rabbit hunts rare and endangered sea animals for the black market.

Purple Rabbit sent you to a protected remote island to harpoon for sharks. But you get stranded on the island during an accident. You're able to salvage some things from your boat, but most of the supplies was washed overboard. At least the island has food and fresh water on it. Maybe if you can build a raft, you could get to a populated island. You know were one is and even know some of the locals that live there. It could take days to get there on a raft, weeks even. But you knew no one was going to come looking for you. Especially not your parents. They told you not to come back until you caught something good. That wasn't going to happen. You're harpoon gun was gone. You didn't mind, though. It's not like you enjoy killing animals. You were indifferent about it. It was just business. Everything was. That's what you're parents told you, anyway. Maybe being by yourself was wasn't so bad... But you're not as alone as you think...
