I'm really pleasantly surprised so many of you like my drawings of mister chuck! So here is a wip of the aforementioned print I started today. Dungeon Meshi summer vibes >:) In more of my usual style, although I'll definitely do more toony stuff with these characters as the mood strikes me.

Here is chilchuck by da pool with a beer. Dad behavior.

Fountain Mermaid Barbie from 1993!! I just love how massive and over the top her crown is. She has a fabric tail and water shoots from her crown. I just love how pink she is <3

I'm tempted to caption this "A mermaid and a couple of tits" but I can't do that, I would get the funny police after me. This is Naia the Fountain Faerie from Neopets, with two faerie pteris.

I'm very happy with how this turned out! I'm genuinely interested in what you think too, I'm not here to just engagement farm.

I also finally took the time to download and figure out Glaze, hence all the little artifacts all across the image. Big pieces that I post online from here on out will not be the best quality unfortunately, you can thank all the rampant art theft for that.

"Such beauty. Surely you are one of God's own creations and not a descendant of those dark creatures who found no refuge on the Ark. Such beauty. Yet deadly."

Finally finished my larger Mermay project! Philip and Syrena, from the grossly underrated "Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides"

What do you think Armand (as a vampire*) enjoys most about the beach? What does he like the least?

*I had to clarify because the mermaid Armand from your fic would probably have very different answers. 😂

Oh, I love this question! Off the bat, I would say his favorite thing about the beach is the water.

I'm neurotic enough that I thought about this before several years ago when I first read VC. My pattern orientated brain just hyperfixated over Armand & The Water. Whether by choice or force, Armand has spent the largest and most significant chucks of his life by some body of water!

He was born by the Dnieper River in Ukraine, spent his years with Marius in Venice over the Adriatic Sea, and then lived in Paris for three hundred years. Les Innocents--or the Holy Innocents Cemetery as it was actually called in real life--is right by the Seine River, and there's also the grand Fontaine des Innocents which still exists today!

Look at it, imagine Armand in the dark trying to brood and not enjoy anything every time he happened upon this hedonistic thing.

After Paris, he travelled around the world with Louis--all the countries mentioned in IWTV are by a sea or an ocean. Then they lived in Manhattan for a long time (an island surrounded by the Hudson, Harlem, and East Rivers). From there was the four decades watching over Lestat's living grave in New Orleans by the Mississippi River. Then when he settles with Daniel, it's Manhattan again, and of course... Night Island on the Gulf of Mexico. And finally, he ends up back in Manhattan in Trinity Gate.

All that to say, I don't think it's a coincidence that Armand chooses to live near water whenever he can. Furthermore, he tells us what he did love about the water as a brand new baby vampire in TVA!

What astonished me now was that I could see beneath the water! There was enough life for my vampiric eyes to see the huge anchors lodged in the mushy bottom of the lagoon, and to see the curved bottoms of the galleys. It was an entire underwater universe. I wanted to explore it further, but I heard my Master's voice - not a telepathic voice, as we would call it now, but his audible voice - calling me very softly to return to the piazza where he waited for me.

And right before that:

I floated under the sky for a while, until all the pain was gone from me.

I've thought a lot about Armand and his sensory overstimulation (entirely separate meta), and I definitely headcanon that sometimes he likes to go to the beach and go out into the water and float aimlessly for a bit when he needs a break. In my head it's sort of like a sensory deprivation tank, but of course there's more going on in the water (more beauty too).

Mask off, me being an absolute fucking NERD: Armand has always been my Water element, Louis my Fire (too easy, much too easy), and Lestat my Wind. 🥹

What does Armand like the least about the beach? Sand. It's too close to dirt, and I don't think he likes to be dirty; he had nightmares about dirt and dirt being under his fingers when he was in Venice (not to mention the trauma associated with being underground for him). I don't think it's like a pathological aversion or anything, but I do think that would be his least favorite thing here!

All the magic has been used up...wait, maybe not. ;)

First illustration for Mermay this year, this year my goal is to have something I would like to print

[littletinydoom]

I wanted to test out some new pens and inks I got for my birthday so of course I drew the Mermaid Flag! Genuinely I’m never gonna stop thinking/talking about the mermaid flag, you guys….

Second photo is with blacklight to show of my special UV reactive inks 🥹 I’m so in love with them.

I had to draw a few of the first mermaid Barbies. I can’t believe it wasn’t until 1991 that the first mermaid Barbie came out?! I had assumed there had been at least 80s mermaid Barbies when I was growing up, but I guess that’s not surprising since I was born in 1990.

I’m working on adding them all to my society6 shop right now. I have a bunch of my other Barbie drawings there too.
