Mermay #28 - Owen The River Otter MerGee I Dont Even Know If This Is Allowed XD Since Otters Arent Really

Mermay #28 - Owen the River Otter Mer Gee I don’t even know if this is allowed XD since otters aren’t really a cetacean but they’re kinda aquatic?? So?? I dunno. Well anyways. So this is Owen, the... river otter... mer... XD He usually just has an otter pattern but as per Mermay I decided to make him a... what even would you call this. This is more like... a half-otter thing than a mer XD But anyways so he’s another Zenithian that the mer pod meet. He sometimes accompanies them on trips so he’s kinda only half part of the pod but he’s kinda among their ranks I guess as it were sometimes... XD Sooo yeah. Whether this counts as a mer or not here’s Owen. XD

Mermay #31 - Illumi as a Mer WOOT! Finished mermay! >8D On time this year, too~ Didn’t have to cram like I did last year XD Yaaay! I had a few days where I got behind, but I managed to stay pretty much on target this month! Hooray!! XD This is a first for me. So here’s Illumi as a mer. Pretty heavily digitalized. The traditional version I only used one color XD The rest was lots and lots of retouching... I think Illumi’s unique blend of colors can really only be achieved digitally, at least with my current skillset. XD With her weird glowy glass stuff everywhere... She’s a challenge to render digitally or not o.O I had to go through a lot of color balancing and photo filters to get what I have now. XD She’s a weird iridescent illuminescent thing... more so as a mer. XD But she’s got the perfect cocky personally to say goodbye to this year’s Mermay with. Phew! What a trip huh? XD

Mermay #22 - Tsuname as a Mer Finally, all caught up! Well, here’s a crowd favorite XD Tsuname, as a mer! I know his species is technically mermaid-like, but I thought I’d draw him as a traditional mer for fun. I would have colored, but I reaaaally wanted to get caught up. XD; So I left is as is in pencil sketch form!

A noodle I made two days ago. Was gonna submit it, but I was kinda on a social media fast, so I decided to wait until I’d finished that. I made this out of a color palette (at least originally before I started messing it) that I’d made accidentally when trying to paint bucket over a colourpod.com palette with a palette from one of those dA color scheme meme things (scheme meme... hehe that rhymes) because I thought I’d help me get inspiration better just to be looking at the colors by themselves instead of the whole rest of the meme and other colors around it. So I got halfway through that before I realized ... hey, this is a pretty nice color palette! Of course it’s all changed now since I messed with darkening/lightening it so there’s lighter yellows and more orange involved to give it more contrast, but the palette itself was pretty cool! Definitely wasn’t dark enough though. Left my original noodle looking kinda chalky. But anyways! Here it is. If anyone would like to try out the palette I (partially) used to make this, it’s:

And yeah, it’s kinda repetitive with both ends being close together in color... but if I were to title it, maybe I’d call it... hm... Well, the original title of the palette was Angelic, and it still kinda looks like that to me? I mean, the last three colors are from Angelic, the first two are from the dA color palette. But uh... I dunno. I don’t have a better title XD; And ‘Angelic’ doesn’t exactly fit Nola’s personality, just her blonde hair and how mono-yellow this painting is XD but uh... Yeah I dunno I can’t think of any other better title for it than that. Eh well. Anyways here it is, finally some art after a while right? XD I’m working on something else that was supposed to be a quick color key but it turned into a big thing... I might post it if I ever finish it! It’s currently in stasis on PS XD;

I don’t remember if I uploaded this to tumblr... I don’t think I did. Well, it’s on dA but for anyone who doesn’t follow my dA, here it is again. XD Well, I wanted to draw my characters from Torn Apart acting out this sequence from Hercules my friend posted from pinterest, so, I drew it. Yep, that’s all there is to it. This is kind of old now... more than a month old actually, ew I didn’t realize how old this was. But it’s cute and I forgot to upload it, so oh well. XD;

Something else I forgot to upload to tumblr that I made about a week ago. For some reason I thought it’d be really cute to draw Nola wearing a fruit hat on her head and carrying a fruit basket in her arm, so... I drew it. XD She looks kind of confused at me why I wanted to draw her doing this though... XD Well, anyways, here’s Nola from Guardians (also known affectionately as Flower Power), a collabative project with @diamondfusionempress, @swordofpower and CC (offsite). And no, I don’t usually have her running around carrying fruit everywhere, but when I do... XD
