Mermaid - Blog Posts

Meet Marlowe!

The hair took forever and I should have been sleeping instead of doing this, but anyway! The second merfolk suggestion is done!

One (of potentially a few) Merfolk, based off of this post. I spent a fair bit of time on this, for no other reason than it felt good to.

A merman, designed off of the Kuhli Loach fish. Finished on the 27th October, 2019

Sail

Or rather swimming sailor. A merman missed his saviour and navy officer too much

Revengeful merman for Halloween

Happy Halloween!

The slave merman and his navy officer saviour. First meeting

P.s. It took me 19 hours total to make these two arts and it's the longest work I've done so far with single arts, I would appreciate a lot your attention! ❤️

Merman Miles design? More likely, than you can imagine. For merman/navy officer au. Though can say that it's the second time I ever draw a merperson (first was an art of cosplayer), so designing this boy absolutely on my own, hahaaa

Miles loves pocket watch and shinies, sings beautifully and will try to bite you with his sharp fangs if considers you are hostile 😊

And his little antennas bow down to skull and move almost like ears of cats depending on his emotions

Sean bienvenidos japonistasarqueologicos a una nueva noticia arqueológica un poco particular, científicos realizan un estudio a una sirena momificada sagrada de 300 años de antigüedad, dicho esto pónganse cómodos que empezamos. - Una sirena momificada fue usada durante 300 años como amuleto sagrado por los lugareños que creían que tenía poderes curativos, recientes estudios los especialistas descubrieron que el objeto no era tan misterioso como parecía porque solo era artificial. - La gente pensaban que si comían de su carne obtendrían la inmortalidad, estuvo expuesta durante cuatro décadas en el templo Enjuin de Asakuchi, en la prefectura de Okayama. - La criatura tiene 30 cm, fue supuestamente capturada en el océano Pacífico, frente a la isla japonesa de Shikoku, entre los años 1736 y 1741. - ¿Qué opinan al respecto? ¿Conocían la noticia? Espero que os guste y nos movamos en próximas publicaciones del país del sol naciente.

Welcome Japanese archaeologists to a new archaeological news, scientists are conducting a study of a 300 year old sacred mummified mermaid, so make yourselves comfortable and let's get started. - A mummified mermaid was used for 300 years as a sacred amulet by locals who believed it had healing powers, recent studies have found that the object was not as mysterious as it seemed because it was only artificial. - People believed that if they ate its flesh they would gain immortality, it was on display for four decades at Enjuin Temple in Asakuchi, Okayama Prefecture. - The creature is 30 cm long, and was supposedly captured in the Pacific Ocean off Japan's Shikoku Island between 1736 and 1741. - What do you think about it, did you know about it? I hope you like it and I look forward to future posts from the land of the rising sun.

ようこそ日本の考古学者たちへ 新しい考古学ニュースです 科学者たちは300年前の神聖なミイラ化した人魚の研究を行っています どうぞお寛ぎください さあ始めましょう。 - 人魚のミイラは、300年もの間、地元の人々に神聖なお守りとして使われ、治癒力があると信じられていました。最近の研究で、この物体は人工物であるため、見た目ほど神秘的ではないことが判明しました。 - 人魚の肉を食べると不老不死になると信じられ、岡山県浅口市の延寿院で40年間展示されていた。 - この生物は体長30cmで、1736年から1741年にかけて日本の四国沖の太平洋で捕獲されたと言われている。 - どうでしょう、ご存知でしたか？私はあなたがそれを好きであることを願って、私は日出ずる国からの将来の出版物を楽しみにしています。

Something in the water?

Some style test chibis for Hybrid High - feat a new student!

A reminder of who these guys are cause I haven't posted about em in a while:

Percival "Percy" Hudson (first on left, upper row) (human - he/him) is a normal human about to head into high school when his single mother very suddenly remarries Moral Nightengale (not shown city fae/? hybrid - she/they). A principal at a high school that caters to specifically hybrid students. Those born of two different species parents. Percy must go through his awkward teen years in an unfamiliar, and frightening environment for someone who has been only been in all human environments his whole life.

During his time in the school, he eventually becomes familiar with a small group of students. (left to right after Percy) Turnip Daisymount (swamp fae/vampire hybrid - he/they), Dottingale Knives (cartoon/banshee hybrid - any pronouns), Cyraeni Pixose (naga/mermaid hybrid - they/them), upperclassman Bartholomew "Barbie" Harbor (kenku/goblin hybrid - he/him), upperclassman Sebastian Corrashell (bullywug/harpy hybrid - he/him), and upperclassman/student president of the gsa Marlowe Deadnettle (Hailosi/Cecaelia hybrid - he/him).

It's a coming of age story about growth and learning to accept people no matter what :^)

more students for the school Percy and Turnip go to

Cyraeni is half naga half mermaid. They got more of their mermaid parent’s lower half muscles, meant for swimming and not movement on the ground. They also got a recessive deep sea mermaid trait, and were born blind. Cyraeni is a big teddy bear once you get to know them. Super kind and gentle to everyone. They are the star of the school’s non-competitive swim team.

Typically, the school would provide an aide for Cyraeni to get around with. However, Cyraeni’s tail has poisonous spikes and a poisonous stinger at the tip. Making Dottingale here the only one willing to cart Cyraeni around since she is immune to the poisons. 

Dottingale is half cartoon character and half banshee. Her cartoon heritage makes them two dimensional- flat as paper. They can slip through the thinnest gaps and often gets things lost between walls for teachers. She also does not use her legs to walk. Instead, they sort of “slides” along the floor as if they were floating. But, her feet ae touching the ground. Dottingale can possess electronics at will, and will do so to get out of lectures to stop banshee shrieking at those who make fun of Cyraeni’s disabilities. Dottingale is autistic and has problems expressing herself. Dottingale prefers to eat with their stomach mouth and talk with their upper mouth. 

These two are a couple, but never kiss in public. 

Cyraeni is gender fluid and uses they/them pronouns and Dottingale is agender and has no preferences for pronouns. Most people use she or they for ol Dottie though.

Mermay Special Prompt 3

“Are you kidding? No one goes to Gotham, that place is like,” Aquaman made a motion with his hand, a not-quite grimace on his face. “Like things should not be living in the water, like it should be impossible, and things should be dead, but they aren’t and it’s like, like the equivalent of an undead apocalypse over there!” 

Bruce rolled his eyes behind his cowl, taking a sip of his coffee as the others continued drinking. Socialize, they said, it’ll be fine they said. Well excuse him, but the waters weren’t that bad. Sure there were always dumped bodies, and chemicals from the rogue attacks, but it was far worse at one point.

One thing he’ll always be relieved for is how the… curse (thank you broken statuette back in the beginning of his vigilante career that fused with the other many curses of Gotham) made the people of Gotham actually care about the waters around them. 

Though also, he couldn’t help but thank anything that might be listening for the fact that the curse only interacted with Gotham waters, because losing legs with any risk of a drop of water would be downright annoying. 

“No dude, you don’t understand, no one goes there for a reason! That shit is horrific- someone saw a big thing with bits of rebar stabbed straight through it and still chased after a big alligator-thing!” Oh. Oh that had been him. Oops. Hopefully his kids didn’t find out about this, but they were probably already on the cameras. Dammnit.
