Mermay #05 - Narwhal Reverse MerAfter The Random Fish Generator Gave Me A Thirdeel In A Row, I Knew It

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 #12 - North American Darter Fish Tried the random fish generator again and after a couple dozen tries I found this lovely kind of fish XD I just had to make a mer out of it for Mermay!

Mermay #09 - Spotted Boxfish Mer So for this one since my first attempt came out more Fishtale-esque fish anthro I decided to do a second one beside it that was more mer-like. The plus side to that is I got to use the anthro version as a test run for my colors and didn’t screw up the colors as badly on the mer. XD Though, I would have liked to have gotten that beautiful indigo as the main body color instead of the shirt color for this here mer, but that proved to be a bit complicated without the excessive use of white acrylic like I used for the shirt, which I’ve found is probably the best medium to blend marker on top of. It blends super well with my markers... though they end up getting a bit of white on their nibs as a result XD; Doesn’t really seem to harm them though if I use them a few times afterwards. But anyways... so yeah. Fixed it up a bit in PS and here we are! Some nice spotted boxfish mer and anthro. XD And with that, I’m all caught up with Mermay! Yaay~ (Though technically it’s the 10th, I’ll have all of tomorrow to work on today’s so that works. XD; )

Friend posted this: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/488359153319552675/ And I made this. 030 A nice blue butterfly for your troubles. :3

And because I felt like uploading old art today, I found a line-up of the 12 sisters from Torn Apart! That’s right folks there’s 12 of them. XD All with emotive nicknames. From top left to bottom right there’s: Artsy, Fraidi, Happy, Obnoxi, Catsy, Sleepi, Dramati, Chiffie, Blushie, Bookie, Seri and Angri. I might actually change some of the sizes of the sisters. I liked the idea of there being a bunch of tiny ones but it looks kind of weird. Maybe I’ll make some of them look a little older. XD

I’m alive! Here’s my first Mermay drawing for 2017, a Green Moray Eel mer! ...Not that you can tell it’s green. XD; but yeah. Went for a more eel-like approach design-wise. Kinda had trouble with it at first with a lot of erasing to get the silhouette just right, but it worked out in the end. XD; As weird as this thing is... is it even a mer anymore? I dunno. I was influenced by @enjoliquej‘s approach to Mermay and went for a more fish-like approach too. Though not quite to reverse mer level... XD;
