Mer - Tumblr Posts
Mermay #20 - Hakee Second in the series of old characters from a mer RP, there’s this thing. From the same tribe as Tirak, a small girl about the age of six who is an albino shark mer and wanders about like a ghost. They say she’s an outcast, but she gets along fairly well for her status.
Mermay #21 - Kitch as a mer So on a different theme, today I decided to draw as a mer a random alien side-side character who (almost) no one on tumblr will recognize. XD I thought doing chars from my Aliens series as mers would be fun, so here’s one XD Not even a main she’s like a side of a side character who comes in with a bunch of other random characters who temporarily travel with the mains after being rescued from a slave ship, but she’s fun sometimes and I realized she reaaally needed an update... not that she’s a mer ordinarily, but you know. XD Her ears got a lot longer from her first ref... (ugh ew this art is four years old now don’t click the link EAE okay well maybe click it but be warned this is ancient) And who could resist a minor catfish theme to her mer design since she’s a feline-based alien? XD Anyways... so this was a fun quick thing to do. I know I’m all over the place with themes, but I’m just trying to keep my inspiration up so I can get caught up >.>;; Almost caught up though! Just one more to go and I’ll be caught up to current day 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!
Mermay #23 - Moon Jellyfish Mer Right on track today. Starting sketching this one up last night around midnight and all finished today. Yaay~ XD It feels good to be caught up and not have like 4-5 of these hanging over me XD Soo yeah. I got inspired looking at jellyfish and other jellyfish mers peeps have done via google images and decided to draw one myself! I really liked how some people made the top jelly bit a hat and some people did both hat and bottom half so I figured why not? Now she’s kind of a... double jelly thing but I dunno I’m kinda satisfied with how it came out. XD
Mermay #24 - McCosker’s Wrasse Mer So this time I didn’t feel like doing the twiggy lady mers I usually draw and designed to make this one a little more beefier, if only in the arms. XD; ...and outfit came out kinda punk-rockish so that too. Although... upon further research into wrasses I found out the design I chose was for a male one... I should have figured with the colors, since in nature usually the males are a lot more colorful XD; But alas. I dunno it’s just patterning though and she’s a mer so maybe it’s different for mermaids? I dunno. Anyways, that embarrassment aside, here’s a mer. XD
Mermay #25 - Brittani Mer Another one from the same band of misfit mers as Finny, this is Brittani. She has Amazon boto and gray seal markings ordinarily, but here’s her as an actual mer because it’s Mermay. XD She was fun to do. I’m glad her shirt came out pretty well too, considering I made it blue at first and then changed it back to her more iconic purple. XD
Mermay #26 - Manny the Manatee Mer Third character in the mer crew with Brittani and Finny, here’s Manny the manatee mer. XD I think this is the first time I’ve ever drawn him and he’s not even a mer with a tail usually XD
Mermay #27 - Wally the Walrus Mer Another one for the mer pod into actual mers, it’s Wally the walrus mer. XD He’s always been begrudgingly walrus-patterned and walrus-like ever since an incident during his walrus hunting days when he got imprinted with the walrus pattern, but as an actual walrus mer I think he hates it even more. XD Even when he’s just patterned he doesn’t like stepping foot in any familiar places with too many people around, so this really just makes it a lot worse for him. XD
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 #29 - Fay as a Mer So I was gonna jump in to doing more of my chars, but the idea of doing this adorable child owned by CC as a mer was simply too tempting... So I doodled her up, even though I wasn’t even sure about making it a Mermay thing. And here it is anyway. XP Maybe I’ll do one of my chars again next. We’ll see.
Mermay #30 - Felisha Another great white mer from Tirak’s RP story. Felisha, a trickster who’s pretty good at her job befriending hapless jellyfish mermaids that get tangled up in the shark mer colony’s web of deceit... or at least pretending to. Which about sums her up.
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
I saw this and wanted to do it as my chars, so… XD
I wasn’t sure if Doc would be the type to plot world domination, but then I thought, with Myths? Oh yeah. XD; Everyone else was an easy fit. XD;
Can you draw the NTs plotting world domination?
ENTJ: *Loudly plots*
ENTP: *Loudly counter-plots*
INTJ: *Sneakily plots*
INTP: *Is asleep*
Mermay #02 - River Stingray + Jellyfish Mer I’m submitting this with way less work and effort than I intended but alas, I can’t stay up much longer tonight. ;_; So I’d been eyeing these river stingrays for a while wanting to turn one into a mer, but I never really had the chance to settle in and really focus on another Mermay pic until tonight, so here one is. Didn’t think I’d go for a jellyfish-ray at first, that just kinda happened. XD; makes me think of Ao and EJ’s mer-mixes so I guess I unintentionally hitched off that idea. XD; Anyways uh. Gosh I really want to do better on this one but will I ever get back to improving on it...? That is the question. So take a scrap for now I guess. Wish I coulda improved on it more but oh well... maybe someday... ewe;;
Me: Okay this’ll be the last ArtFight for a while Me two seconds later: *claims another character* Me: QwQ...
Anyways. So this is Andrea, Micro’s character who I drew with my character Ithiel, who isn’t normally a hippocamptaur, but I drew her as one for Mermay once and since I was uncertain if Tirak would pass the rules for the mini games (they had one for no male nipples, and while I guess I could have just not drawn them in, I was kinda worried still since he’s also shirtless, which renders him with pretty much nothing being a mer and all XD; even if it’s not NSFW, I didn’t wanna take the chance or have to ask a mod about it)
Hey @meadow-roses, here's ya boi Tahti! I loved the picture you did of Tsuname so much, so here's some art of your mer boy in thanks. <3
