Come get this Commish! [ and Art Dump ]

[Zweit]

Ain't a proper summary of art from me if it ain't heavily featuring mermaids, eh?

Here's to another year.

Portrait of a vanilla colored vampire, Riven.

My end of an art trade featuring an ocean loving OC, Kaelani.

Character reference sheet for a young soldier turned post-nuclear fallout vigilante.

Lacking refinement, but already something I've spent far too many hours on at this point and my canvas file corrupted immediately after saving this so lmao



Massive diptych styled illustration of the leading idiots in the fantasy/horror novel me and a friend are writing.

Finally made up a reference sheet for my local man-eating loot goblin and her stolen hoard of plot relevant goodies.



For any folks that might be interested, my friend and I are in the process of editing a final draft for a fantasy thriller novel about man-eating mermaids, featuring Marella here and a particular beefy ginger man yall've seen before.

Any enterprising beta readers with a good mind for feedback and critique, inquire within!

@Zweit Are you participating in Mermay?

@Zweit Are you participating in Mermay?

@BrokenPromise

Hahah! Honestly, considering my favorite mythical creatures are all the different variants of mermaids? I feel like I participate in MerMay all year round each and every year.

I have a few scribbles, but nothing that I've shared yet. If folks are interested to see them I'll pick the ones that are most presentable. Also open to any suggestions of that flavor!

[BrokenPromise]

@Zweit Any suggestions? I can make some pretty wild suggestions. Alright, I'll give you a few.

#1) I see a distinct lack of Japanese folk creatures, and there are quite a few that linger near the water. I'm thinking you should draw a kappa. Not one of those skinny ones, and he shouldn't look like a balding member of the teenage mutant ninja turtles, though that wouldn't be horrible. We need a Kappa that doesn't miss the grind. I'm talking about a swole boy. Giga chad lookin' Kappa. But he's not the sort to start fights or any of that nonsense. He's actually quite refined, and spends most of his days fishing off his boat under the shade of a straw hat.

#2) I see no big scary underwater monsters. It's fun to have really hot murder mermaids but horrifying sea monsters that are impossibly large with rows of teeth, spikes, etc. There are too many real deep sea fish that scare me to recommend one to base a monster off of. Angler fish or those transparent squid would make for a fine baseline I would think. Unless yo wanted to go shark route. Sharks are awesome too. They don't have that exotic flair of true deep sea animals but sharks are always cool.

#3) You have monster girls, but you can never have too many monster girls. I'm thinking a jellyfish girl ice skater. But she's underwater so she skates on the underside of the ice. Maybe she could be doing a sick trick or something. If you were feeling really tricky, her duet partner could be skating on top of the ice. I'm not sure what her duet partner would be upside-down-jellyfish-ice-skater is the important part of this idea.
