Merman Tony:

“I was cursed by my godfather. I cannot survive above surface. Never let that stop me.”

His flesh shimmers like gold under the right light.

He once courted a siren. She's his best friend now.

Likes the blond and the brunet land-dwellers who bring him land things and flirt with him.

Builds a fake-heart to battle his curse.

Almost died trying to befriend a sea serpent once.

Siren!Pepper is here

Marvelous Mermay: Starkfish

"The truth is...I am a merman."

Note: Most of my Marvel merfolk will not be this elaborate. The plan is for most of them to be quick sketch-doodles like last year. But some will get more attention than others.

Ever since Tony had spent a summer in Italy as a child, he was haunted by the same dream - he was at the beach, the sun blinding as it was reflected by the waves of the ocean, when he suddenly saw some movement in the water. Of course mermaids were only a myth, but what he saw looked exactly how Tony would imagine a mermaid or merman would look like.

When Tony started dreaming about the mysterious creature every night, he decided to go back to Italy. Maybe revisiting the small town would help him to let go of his strange dream? Or maybe he would find something or someone that would change his life forever.

Day 6 - Chopper

The best (and cutest) doctor in all the seas!

He was fun to design because I wasn't sure to do this one or Heavy Point. (Obviously went with the cuter option hehe)

I also always giggle because Chopper is on the same page as Sanji in my sketchbook and just the dichotomy of Cute Mascot Character and Bishounen makes me laugh

Tail details!

GAY ICON JOHNNIE RAY

Music critics have cites Johnnie Ray as a major influence on modern popular music. Tony Bennett, a music icon himself, called Ray the "father of rock and roll". With his rhythm-based singing style and animated stage personality, Ray’s music had strong jazz and blues influences.

After signing with Colombia Records in 1951, Ray was assigned to their Olek Label. Okek featured R&B music with primarily African American performers. When Colombia discovered Ray was Caucasian, they move him to their main label (racism operated in mysterious ways). Ray’s 78rpm single “Cry” sold over two million copies and he quickly became a teen idol.

This led to an appearance on Ed Sullivan’s “Toast of the Town” TV show, and being cast in “There's No Business Like Show Business” (1954) along side Ethyl Merman and Marilyn Monroe.

Prior to being signed to Columbia, Ray was arrested in Detroit for soliciting an undercover cop for sex in the restroom of a burlesque theater. He pleaded guilty but since he was relatively unknown, newspapers did not report the story. But after his success, rumors about Ray being a homosexual began to spread.

Despite this, Ray married Marilyn Morrison, daughter of a nightclub the owner in 1952. The event was attended by then New York Mayor Vincent Impellitten and the ceremony made headlines New York Daily News.

According to friends, Morrison was aware of the rumors and said she "straighten it out." But the couple separated in 1953 and divorced in 1954.

During this time, Ray became friends with journalist and television game show panelist Dorothy Kilgallen. It’s been rumored that her youngest child, Kerry Kollmar, was fathered by Ray.

In 1959, Ray was arrested again for soliciting an undercover cop at a gay bar described as “a haven for musicians”. Ray was found not guilty at the trial.

Ray suffered from alcoholism most of his life, and he was arrested at least once for public intoxication. In 1960, he was hospitalized for tuberculosis and according to his biographer Jonny Whiteside, he quit drinking. But in 1969, after Ray returned to the United States from a European tour with Judy Garland, he began drinking heavily. In February 1990, Ray died from liver failure in Los Angeles.
