There are mermaids living among us, using magic to shape the water to their needs.

hhhh sun and moon mermay au
they aren't any specific species, though i did see some images of betta fish and took some artistic inspiration lol
anyways, here's some random side facts under the cut:
- sun is energetic and exciteable, kind and curious
- his bite is poisonous and it paralyzes his prey
- hunts by basically pretending to be bait? then strikes when you least expect it (though there's no malice behind the action)
- moon is cautious and wary, distant and protective
- they look all spikey but the spikes are actually soft and do no harm
- usually fiercely protects sun even though sun is more than capable of taking care of himself
(- protectiveness led to a bunch of scars)

Mermay 2022: Biology Influenced Merfolk
Hey there folks! If you've been following my twitter and instagram, for this Mermay, my theme is to basically take inspiration from real life biology, and apply them to their design as merfolk... especially their wicked set of chompers. It got so popular on Insta, I even made backstories for their designs there xD.
You can read up more about their stories on my Insta, but the gist is this: Kara is a Great White Shark mermaid, and she does her best to look out for her sister, a Lamprey. She lives in a town full of quirky characters, whose merfolk come from multiple kinds of fish and critters of the sea.

It's Mermay and somehow I've only ever been able to draw mermaids in the context of pollution.
Every time I take my dogs to the beach, it's covered in trash and dead leopard sharks, rays, and sturgeons. We are witnessing mass extinction in real time.
