Woohoo finally made some art and I'm only... *checks date* 11 days late to mermay!! Im good at this.
Anyways, here is littol mer traffic light trio just nappin' :3
Mei is based off of a seahorse but the others aren't anything in particular. Also fluffy mer MK!!!! Had some trouble with Red Son's hair, it looks stiff. They are underwater in this art, however I decided Red Son deserved a water proof pillow. The other two don't really get it, but he's fun to nap on so they don't mention how odd they find the concept of a pillow. In this one Mei and Red Son passed out while playing, but MK remembered how much Red Son loves his pillow and put it there for him before taking a nap with them:3 they just sat down on that for a brief break and then passed right on out.
Probably gonna draw lore of these little dudes later if I have the time, and if I do I'll fix up Red Son's design more. It was trouble translating his clothes into body parts, but I think I know how to fix it up in the future, just not while he's laying down. I'll reblog this with some lore attached later^^

I can't stop thinking about how funny it is that Aang had all this secret lore on Zuko because of the Blue Spirit that he just, didn't share with the Gaang. That boy knew that Zuko was capable of fighting extremely well without bending, was excellent with swords and unnaturally good at infiltration and espionage. And then just never brought it up.
Katara's yelling at Zuko on how he thinks he'd be able to find and break into the Sun Warrior Temple while Aang is fidgeting in the background. Sokka starts giving Zuko a hard time about his swords, asking if a spoiled prince would know how to use them. Aang is vibrating unsure of how to explain that Sokka Might Die if he tried to swordfight Zuko unprepared but now its been too long and it'd be super awkward to bring up.

rabel’s design meshes classic demon stuff with cool fruit and plant theming really well! How’d you come up with it?
Ty.. he's gone through many phases of overdesign and underdesign and eventually he'll change again I'm sure but I can tell you about how he became the funny animal with a fruit at the end of his tail he is today under the cut
The main basis for his design (and the visuals of ttb in general) is the devil and lovers tarot cards. A major theme in both of these cards is the juxtaposition of opposites (man vs woman, mountain vs river and the burning tree of life vs. the fruitful tree of knowledge). So yeah that's where the fruit + fire thing came from. In a previous iteration his tail flourish was a combination of those seen on the figures in the devil card. I still think it's cute but I made it a fig since that's the fruit I'm using in the story.
Fun fact 1: the forbidden fruit is based off the strangler fig specifically which is what the tendrils in the teaser are. (Also the plants coming from the portal are trees of heaven and monsteras)
Similarly the image of baphomet, which is often associated with the devil, echoes this theme of the unification of binary elements. So his incarnate form is based largely off of that along with the demon pazuzu (bc exorcist reference).
Still settling on a version I like but here are some recent explorations (fun fact 2: The specific animals in Rabel's design are a wolf, goat, snake and Asian koel/cuckoo bird. Will elaborate on that last one another day)
Also the sun is a third element I incorporated as a bridge trait to join the fire and plant aspects but it gets too much into abilities and spoilers and stuff but like, you know what the sun does. Anyway that's it for now if you read all this thanks for reading :P
