I really like learning about different aquatic environments, so I made myself a MerMay prompt list themed around drawing as many different kinds of habitats as possible.

Today is everyone's favorite day: WIP Wednesday!!!

Here is a little update from the mer poll.

I'm making some headway with tails and the water. I still have to finish painting Wooley, the sand, and the tookaaaa!!

[existentialcrisis-9-5]

Since it's almost May, I'm gonna start sharing something I've been working on for a while now.

Another DCA Subnautica AU

I'll share more about it over the course of the next week, until the 1st of May, when I'm posting the 1st chapter.

Today, though, I'll post the first designs for the titular Daycare Attendants. Because I wanted to.

Sun!

Moon!

Eclipse!

Eclipse was made on MS Paint because I didn't have access to my usual drawing app at the time.

These designs were the first ideas I had, which I later ironed out a bit, though I kept more or less the same colour pallet. I also had to actually come up with species rules and lore for these guys, and that, too, changed their designs. That said, I tried to maintain the same spirit of the original designs.

Not much more to say for now.

Sorry for the confusion, I was just copy/pasting the text from the tweet.

Some merms or mermay past that I still like!

Timeskipped Sidon, the hydro himbo 🌊

I did some research for Timeskip 2 as I was unsure if he'd be gigantic like King Dorephan (kind of like how some animals get huge when they become alpha/queen). In the end, there's no definite answer so my interpretation is that Sidon gets larger as a shark, but not exponentially so as a whale like Dorephan. If I'm wrong, oh well I tried. 😅

Terrarium for tail, or a tailrarium if you will. Blame my discord friends for this pun.

Also, I sliced up my finger in a bout of stupidity so I gave up on this drawing midway 🥲
