Mermay #13 - Mahi-mahi Mer Another day, another mer! Here’s a mahi-mahi mer who looks quite grumpy XD Not that mahi-mahi have fangs like that, but I thought it fit the persona. XD

Mermay #05 - Narwhal Reverse Mer After the random fish generator gave me a third eel in a row, I knew it was time for a change. So after being bombarded with suggestions from friends I went with the one that inspired me the most- a narwhal mer. And well, it wasn’t meant to be a reverse mer originally, but my thought process went something like this was I was drawing: *sketch sketch* Okay I’ve finally got an idea of what I’m doing. I’ll make the head kind of anthropomorphic narwhal, and... wait what’s happening. No this is an anthropomorphic narwhal I need there to be a human aspect still for it to be considered a mer--*starts drawing legs* ....this is turning into a reverse mer. I blame @enjoliquej this is all her fault. SHE STARTED THE REVERSE MER TREND. BLAME HER FOR BRINGING ME DOWN TO HER DANK LEVEL.

Mermay #11 - Eli Another CC request, because she has mers and I’m open to ideas for Mermay XD He was really simple and nice to marker out. I think I only used... I wanna say four? Four colors? For this whole thing? Blue, two shades of green... no, five total colors. Blue, two shades of green (though it was mostly just one shade), skin color, and cool gray for the shirt. Any colors other than that were probably caused by darkening/lighting the pic in Photoshop. But anyways... So yeah he was a fun and simple mer to draw. I’m a day behind in Mermay now (or actually two since it’s the 13th already?) because I procrastinated on this one and chose movie screenshot drawing instead over Mermay, but I’ll see if I can’t get caught up again today or tomorrow XD;

Mermay #10 - Remus the Betta Mer

This here’s Remus, a hyperactive bundle of joy owned by my friend CC. This here mer can hardly stay still and tendstotalklikethis which makes his dialogue a bit hard to decode at times. XD But all the same he’s got a really fun design and was both a hassle and a joy to render out traditionally XD Definitely learning more about how to blend my markers better. Seems like lighter colors tend to blend darker colors better, especially when placed on a darkish midtone so you won’t really be able to see your mistakes as well. XD That or the baby blue copic marker I got for my birthday just rocks at everything. There’s that too. XD but my indigo blue prisma’s kinda tricky to work with so it’s good those two work well together at least. But anyways I’m rambling. XD; Enjoy the mer.

Mermay #15 - Finny the Yellowfin Tuna Mer So I’ve had this yellowfin tuna patterned guy and decided to make him into a mer to see what would happen. I think the pattern is kinda messed up actually I wanted to show off more of that gorgeous blue these fish have, but it was kinda hard from a front-ish view XD; I had some other ways I was gonna configure the pattern on the arms but this way was the only way that made logistic sense given the patterning and I had to do all kinds of crazy things to figure out how this pattern would work on arms, including marking myself with marker to denote which way the pattern would turn with the movement of my forearm. It was interesting, for sure. XD; Still not totally happy with it, but whatevs.
